About the museum

Two million passengers travelled from Antwerp, the Red Star Line's main European port, to North America on board Red Star Line ships. The museum focuses on their stories, that of the Red Star Line that transported them and that of Antwerp, the city and port from which they embarked on their journeys.

History

You don’t just build a museum in one, two, three. And you don’t build it alone. The idea for the museum was launched in 1992. Since then several partners have come aboard this project which finally sailed towards 28 September 2013.
