[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.

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.
