Museum exhibiting stories of passengers who left for America with the Red Star Line, which connected Antwerp, Philadelphia and New York as early as 1881

The steamships of the Red Star Line docked just before the bend in the Scheldt. Today, there's a museum featuring stories of passengers who left to seek a better life in America with this shipping line, which operated a weekly service between Antwerp, Philadelphia and New York from 1881 onwards. A journey that takes us back to the early 1900s, where we can share in the dreams and nightmares of European migrants, thanks to interactive exhibits that combine first-hand accounts and archive material.

Au cœur de l’ancien quartier portuaire en rénovation, ce musée renseigne sur l’occupation de ces bâtiments durant l’activité de cette compagnie de transport maritime.
Sa visite permet de découvrir et comprendre les motivations et les conditions de voyage des migrants en majorité originaire d’Europe de l’est. De plus les conséquences sur la vie de cette métropole sont bien indiquées. De nombreuses photos, films, maquettes et objets de l’époque aident à la compréhension.
Visite émouvante et intéressante.
