For a considerably long time Antwerp was the place where immigrants – often from Eastern Europe – took a Red Star Line Ship to America where they hoped to build a new future for themselves. Nowadays, Antwerp quite often is the final destination for migrants. In other words, the museum’s stories from the past are unmistakably linked to the here and now in Antwerp and in Belgium.
The Red Star Line Museum compiled educational materials in close collaboration with experienced NT2-teachers. These educational materials will enable you to prepare your visit in the classroom as well as guide your students during their actual visit to the museum.
