PRIVATE MUSEUMS
Several private collections trace the history of slavery in Badagry. The Mobee Museum displays relics preserved by the eponymous family, while the Seriki Abass Museum takes visitors on a tour of former slave jails. Built in 1840, the latter is also known as the Brazilian Baracoon, derived from the Portuguese barraco, shack, as it was used by Brazilian merchants. The 10 m² cells held up to 40 captives, who were sold for everyday items before being held for 90 days until their departure for the point of no return.
