Our exhibitions

The Red Star Line Museum has a lot to offer. In addition to the permanent exhibition, we also host temporary exhibitions, in a stunning building, with an extensive collection...

About the museum

Two million passengers travelled from Antwerp to North America on board the Red Star Line ships. The museum focuses on their story, on that of the shipping company that transported them and on the city and port from which they embarked on this journey.

Permanent exhibition

In the permanent exhibition you also find stories about the arrival on Ellis Island. The scenography shows objects and testimonies filmed in America.
