Slavery

February 12 2021 to May 30 2021

Slavery brings together ten real-life stories about people in slavery, about slaveholders, about people who freed themselves from slavery, and about people brought to the Netherlands in slavery.

This exhibition centres on slavery in the Dutch colonial period spanning from the 17th to the 19th century, and sheds light on the countries and regions where the Netherlands was actively involved in slavery and the slave trade.
