The National Museum of Slavery is part of the Angola National Heritage Institute, under the Ministry of Culture. It's vicinity to Luanda make it a pleasant day-excursion as it is only 18 kilometers south of the capital city, in a village called Morro da Cruz, on the Estrada do Sul towards Barra do Kwanza.
Founded in 1997, the National Museum of Slavery (NMS) is one of the country’s most illustrious institutions as it was created with the purpose of informing and educating the public about the history of slavery in Angola.
The Museum is part of the small chapel called “Capela da Casa Grande,” or the Chapel of the Big House. Having been recently renovated, it celebrated a grand re-opening in February 2008, with several foreign dignitaries in attendance to mark this significant event. Presently, the museum is open to the public only on weekends, but schools and private groups may contact the National Heritage Institute for private, guided tours during the week.
