Description
The Red Star Line Museum tells the story of the millions of European migrants who left for North America between 1873 and 1934 via the Red Star Line shipping company. The museum is located in the former buildings of the Red Star Line on the Scheldt quays and offers an impressive exhibition of historical documents, photos and personal stories of the migrants. The Red Star Line Museum was founded as a tribute to the courage and determination of the migrants who wanted to build a new life in the United States and Canada. The exhibitions are built around three main themes: departure, crossing and arrival. Visitors can relive the migrants' journey and gain insight into the conditions they faced on their journey across the ocean. One of the most impressive parts of the museum is the "Hall of Farewells& #34;, where visitors get a sense of the emotions associated with saying goodbye to relatives and friends. The museum also has a collection of authentic suitcases and luggage belonging to the migrants, which illustrate the limited possessions they were able to take with them on their journey. The Red Star Line Museum is not only an important cultural and historical landmark, but also a moving tribute to the courage and resilience of the millions of migrants who passed through Antwerp. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of migration and the human story behind the statistics and facts. |
