The Red Star Line Museum is everything but a traditional museum. Here's an overview of our activities.

Destination Sweetheart

[2020-2021]

Love migrants told their stories during the ‘Destination Sweetheart’ exhibition. They told them while being interviewed and shared their photographs and mementoes.

Children’s Committee

[2021-present day]

In 2021 we started the Children’s Committee, made up of 7 children who meet every month to discuss and think about ideas for the museum. Wilde Raven guided us through this journey and translated the children’s ideas into concrete actions.

Roots Seekers

[2019]

The presentation of ‘Roots Seekers’ showed us the story of people in search of their own distant and recent past. For more recent migration stories, the museum collaborated with students from the Sint-Agnes Institute in Borgerhout.

Project ‘Fieldworkers’

[2017-2018]

The museum launched our fieldworkers project in 2017. Fieldworkers are people with a refugee and migration background who conduct interviews with migrants themselves.

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.

The museum

What makes the Red Star Line Museum so special? The story, the location, the approach ... ? What are the principles of working? What is in the collection and how do we deal with it?

Know-how and research

We expand our collection through research and participatory projects, but also through cooperation with partners in setting up temporary exhibitions.
