This gallery is about the movement of people, goods and ideas across and around the Atlantic Ocean from the 17th century to the 19th century. The connections created by these movements changed the lives of people on three continents, profoundly affecting their cultures and societies and shaping the world we live in today.

Atlantic Worlds is open 10.00–17.00 daily, admission free. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing. The gallery is on level 1 of the Museum – see floor plans.
