Red Star Line Museum

Between 1873 and 1934 the Red Star Line’s ocean steamers ferried about 2.6 million adventurers and fortune seekers from Antwerp to New York. For many people their passage started in the Red Star Line buildings in Antwerp. This museum tells the story of these passengers. The old buildings render their feelings and emotions tangible and visible. This new Antwerp museum also examines the issue of migration today.
