The museum's DNA

What is it that makes the Red Star Line Museum special? It's story, it's location, the way it's approaches things ...?

Our partners

Many dozens of partner institutions were involved in the realization of the Red Star Line Museum. The museum has a long-term collaboration with several of them.

Specially Unknown

Red Star Line Museum takes part in the European Refugees Oral History project Specially Unknown

In search of their roots

23.04.2019 - 6.10.2019

The presentation followed in the footsteps of the root seekers and moved through the emotions behind a family or migration history.

Rootszoekers_1

Hoe bouw je een stamboom als er geen sporen meer zijn? Hoe evolueren herinneringen doorheen de tijd? Wat is waarheid en wat is fictie? En welke sporen wil jij achterlaten op deze wereld? De presentatie ‘Rootszoekers’ toont het verhaal van mensen die, bewogen door hun roots, op zoek gingen naar hun eigen ongekende geschiedenis.

Migrating Memories

29th annual AEMI meeting

The Red Star Line Museum hosts the 29th annual AEMI meeting which will take place from october 2nd to october 5th. Find the program here.

Fieldwork. Refugee experiences in Antwerp

7.11.2019 - 3.8.2020

Many newcomers in Antwerp have come to our country as refugees. In a time in which more is spoken about them, rather than with them, their stories are worth hearing.

Destination Sweetheart

25.09.2020 - 26.09.2021

Migrants of love leave their homes, family and friends to build a future with their loved one. ‘Destination Sweetheart’ was an exhibition about migrating for love from the Red Star Line period to the present day. Letters, interviews and personal objects offered insight into heart-warming stories, as well confrontational ones.
