The majority of people in the UK think the British Museum should have a permanent exhibition dedicated to the transatlantic slave trade, according to research.
New polling data by YouGov found that 53% of respondents think a permanent display about Britain’s role in the trade of enslaved African people would be appropriate, while two-thirds believe the British Museum has a role in educating the public about the UK’s history in the slave trade.
