Badagry Heritage Museum

The Badagry Heritage Museum, located in Lagos, Nigeria, commemorates the estimated 555,000 slaves who were traded through the town of Badagry before being sent to America. Spanning nine galleries, the museum houses a collection of shackles, photographs, documents, and other historical artifacts that provide a somber and detailed account of this dark period. Visitors can explore the history of the town and gain a deeper understanding of the transatlantic slave trade through these preserved records and exhibits.
