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.
With this project, the museum (in collaboration with Joba refugee network) gave unaccompanied minor refugees an opportunity to introduce themselves at the museum and to preserve their stories for the future.
The museum has joined forces with teachers and with the Atlas organization to develop educational materials that help newcomers experience the museum in a personalized way.
We invited newcomers to share their memories on a specially designed city map. We’ve compiled the stories in a publication and in the ‘Safe Harbour’ exhibition.
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.
Love migrants told their stories during the ‘Destination Sweetheart’ exhibition. They told them while being interviewed and shared their photographs and mementoes.
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.
