Red Star Line Museum

The Red Star Line Museum in Antwerp tells the story of millions of European emigrants who departed here for North America between 1873 and 1934. Housed in the former shipping company buildings, it combines personal testimonies, photographs, and interactive exhibits to explore migration, hope, and identity. The museum is especially rewarding for visitors interested in social history, family journeys, or Antwerp’s role as a port city. Its thoughtful presentation and original setting make it one of the city’s most distinctive museums.
