Why visit Red Star Line?

The Red Star Line Museum is situated in the old port district called ’t Eilandje. The museum is located past MAS, near the port, in an outpost of the city. It is worth visiting. Why? We give you ten very good arguments.

Calendar

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

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

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.
