Red Star Line Museum - Uitzwaaien aan de Schelde Red Star Line Museum

Millions of people, one dream

Minor renovation works in the museum

To improve your museum experience, we are carrying out works on our permanent exhibition. As a result, the globe and timeline at the beginning of the permanent exhibition will not be accessible from Tuesday 13 January until Friday 16 January 2026.

The rest of the permanent exhibition remains open as usual. At the start of your visit, you can still explore the boiler room about the shipping company itself, after which you will briefly return towards the reception desk. From there, you can continue your museum visit.

Our staff will be happy to assist you if you have any questions or if anything is unclear.

Exhibitions

Permanent collection

If these walls could talk, we would probably be surprised about the stories they could share. Two million passengers travelled to America on the Red Star Line ships. Explore the museum section by section.

Temporary exhibitions

The museum also holds temporary exhibitions in 'De Loods', which is the name of the old baggage shed of the Red Star Line shipping company.
