As we make our way through security, the first thing you see as you come out of the darkness is this amazingly beautiful but quite dark sculpture by Ghanaian artist Kwame Akoto-Bamfo. The sculpture consists of seven individual people who are all connected literally by the chains of bondage, leading them into a life of slavery.

The slave trade had been outlawed, but a group of white men, initiated by Timothy Meaher and based on a bet, sailed to Africa, kidnapped and illegally transported the last group of captives; 120 African men and women, and enslaved them. The snippets were enough to pull me in.
