The National Museum of Slavery (Museu Nacional da Escravatura) is a deeply significant historical institution located along the coast in the Morro da Cruz neighborhood of Luanda. Established in 1977 by the National Institute of Cultural Heritage, the museum is uniquely housed in the Capela da Casa Grande, a historic 17th century structure that once belonged to one of the largest slave traders on the African coast. This specific site was used to forcefully baptize enslaved Africans before they were loaded onto ships bound for the Americas. Today, the museum serves to preserve national memory, displaying a solemn collection of historical artifacts, irons, shackles, photographs, and documents that detail the tragic history and impact of the transatlantic slave trade in Angola.
