POMPEY MUSEUM OF SLAVERY AND EMANCIPATION
Museum in Nassau tracing the history of slavery in the Bahamas and featuring a crafts exhibition.
The building, evocatively named "Vendue House", once housed a slave auction house that operated in the 18th century. The name of the museum is moreover a tribute to Pompey, a slave who led a revolt at the Rolle des Exumas plantation. Today, the museum that occupies it traces the history of slavery in the Bahamas. It offers an exhibition of crafts, as well as testimonies of the period of slavery and emancipation on the islands.
