The Red Star Line Museum in Antwerp brings to life the history of the many people who emigrated to the United States and Canada via the Red Star Line between 1873 and 1934. From the port of Antwerp, millions of Europeans then departed in search of a better future across the ocean.

The museum is located in the original warehouses of the shipping company, where emigrants once had to undergo their medical checks and administrative procedures before they could board the ships to America.

During a visit, you follow the journey of the emigrants step by step: from their departure from Europe to their arrival in the New World. Through personal testimonies, authentic documents, photos, and interactive exhibitions, you get an insightful picture of their dreams, doubts, and challenges.

The Red Star Line Museum shows how migration has shaped lives and connected cultures through the centuries. Thanks to the combination of historical context and personal stories, the museum offers a particularly engaging and emotional experience for visitors of all ages.
