Invisible: Slavery Today is a new, permanent exhibition that will bring visitors face-to-face with the continuing travesty of contemporary slavery. The first museum-quality exhibition in the world on the subject of modern slavery, Invisible will show how forced labor and human trafficking make up a $32 billion illicit economy in which men, women and children are bought sold, and discarded. But it will also challenge visitors to take action to abolish modern-day slavery in their own communities and around the world.
