Exhibition: ‘A Little Bit Belgian: Six Argentinians on their Roots’

[October 2017-April 2018]

For this exhibition, the Red Star Line Museum researched emigration from Belgium to Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

‘Here I am!’

[2010-2013]

Even before the museum opened, we toured the city with our Story Bus (with the name ‘Here I am!’) in search of contemporary migration stories. We worked with various sociocultural associations to collect hundreds of stories.

‘Home Sweet Home’ project and exhibition

[2014]

In 2014, the ‘Home Sweet Home’ exhibition on travelling and coming home was staged in the museum Shed in collaboration with the artist Bülent Öztürk and the photographer Mashid Mohadjerin. The museum also worked with young people of Turkish and Moroccan origin.

Stories of emigrants, cruise passengers and crew members. Stories of love migration or labour migration. Historical or contemporary, we keep them all.

The collection

This is what's the museum is all about.

Participation

Participation is of great importance within our operation. Because stories are central to the museum, personal involvement is crucial.

For companies and associations

Organise an exclusive event for your clients, staff or business relations outside the museum's opening hours. Or how about a cultural teambuilding?
