Discover 'Destination Sweetheart' with a guide

A guide tells you stories during an interactive tour. About the moment when two partners first meet, about the distance between them, about the wedding, the journey, the arrival. And about love, but also about doubts.

Know-how and research

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

Our collection

The collection of the Red Star Line Museum is atypical. The story behind the historical place and its link with the present is our focal point.
