Part of Hull's museum quarter, Wilberforce House is the birthplace of William Wilberforce MP, who championed the anti-slavery and abolitionist cause in Britain in the late 18th century. The museum tells the history of the house itself and the Wilberforce family, from the building of the house to the life and times of William Wilberforce himself, a history of African slavery through to the abolition of the slave trade in Britain.

Wilberforce house is a grade one listed former merchants house in High Street backing on to the river Hull. This stunning building is home to the William Wilberforce Museum. A fascinating collection of Artifacts and showing the life of William Wilberforce, one of Hull's most famous sons. There is a lot to see in this museum, the building itself is fascinating and there is a lovely garden backing on to the river. In the pavement outside there are some of the fish and a crab which are part of the hull fish Trail. The museum is free to enter. Highly recommended.

I dont think it's a place that I loved . It was educational a reminder of past history which was sad and how times have not changed that much.. It made you stop & think 🎈

I visited this museum many times as a child. The exhibits were very interesting to see, and also the waxwork of William Wilberforce in his original study.

Wilberforce house tells the story of early slavery and one man's crusade to stop it .It will make you think about the pain and suffering they went through for fortune and profit thought provoking.

A legend William Wilberforce set is path in history for the good of mankind. Great place to visit

Well worth a visit. Fascinating history of Wilberforce, campaign to abolish slavery, and great detail on African cultures, and much else besides. And again it's free.

Just a quick visit now that it has now reopened. Some changes. Will now go back for a longer visit.

This is one of the most thought provoking and evocative museums ever visited. The museum situated in the 'Old Town' area and Museums Quarter area of Hull and also owned by Hull Council details about William Wilberforce and the abolition of the Slave Trade. There are exhibitions about the life of William Wilberforce, the Slave Trade and also the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Wilberforce's involvement in the Aboliiton of the Slave Trade. All of the exhibitions are told in informative and thought provoking especially the exhibition about the Slave Trade detailing the origins of the Slave Trade, how they were transported to America from Africa on the boats and the horrendous conditions they lived on the boats and how they were brutally treated on the Plantations. The Great thing the exhibitions do is to make us think carefully and reflect on the horrific nature of the Slave Trade and the brutal treatment the slaves endured and how can learn from it as a society and also show respect to the different cultures around the world. All of the exhibitions are laid out in an easy to understand fashion and not too information loaded, which is brilliant. You can also see some interesting artefacts which are also equally thought provoking. The museum is also free admission and there are opportunities to provide a donation should you wish to do so. There is no cafe or gift shop on site with a gift shop at the Hull & East Riding of Yorkshire Museum with a range of souvenirs at decent affordable prices. Overall this is a fabulous and thought provoking attraction and learn about the brutality and horrific nature of the Slave Trade and highlights the good work of William Wilberforce did bringing about the Abolition of the Slave Trade.

I went as a youth and loved it here. No it's just photographs and descriptions. Year's ago there were models, artifacts etc. I found it a bland experience and they need more seating

I think its more of what the man stood for and achieved than seeing chains and whips, that are displayed alongside his normal everyday life objects. We left here and went through the garden to the next door transport museum.

William Wilberforce was a politican representative for Yorkshire, he was also a leader in the moment to abolish the slave trade in the British Colonies. In this house museum, the ground floor is a showcase about William Wilberforce's personal life, whilst the first floor is an exhibition about slavery, including 2 videos.

It was a nice and lovely experience to visit the Wilberforce House Museum. It gave an indepth knowledge of what slavery looked like and the pains they suffered. It completely was a free entry. I had a nice time.

What an amazing museum this is. Packed with information and interesting artifacts. Very enlightening with so much background on the slave trade, politics, and life at the time William Wilberforce lived. There was so much more to see than I expected. So glad I visited.

A fascinating place to visit, need to spend at least a couple of hours concerning the history of slaver & the man William Wilberforce.

Well - maintained. Very interesting displays about the house, Wilberforce, abolition of slavery and the slave trade and also displays about modern slavery.

A must visit place, full of interesting and sad stories of the slave trade. Much of what you see there is not taught in schools.

A very nice suprise this small but very well appointed museum has a lot to see well worth a visit if your in Hull.

First came here with my Dad in the early 60s. I would recommend a visit to everyone, very informative. It’s free too.

Wilberforce House has an excellent free exhibition about Wilberforce's life, and the horrors of slavery in the past and present.
