Join us for the opening of a new space in our exhibition “Domestic Bliss” and find out more about the history of the Royal Exchange building.
Discover our new display of 19th century museum objects related to the history of the building, legacies of Empire, and the transatlantic slave trade.
Watch a newly commissioned film by Manu Kurewa and listen to a reading of short stories by Heshani Sothiraj Eddleston in response to those objects and find out how they relate to chattel slavery and sugar. Then, a panel will discuss the transformation of the building from house to Royal Exchange and, finally, to Gallery of Modern Art.
