Red Star Line Museum, Maritime migration museum in Montevideostraat, Antwerp, Belgium
The Red Star Line Museum displays artifacts, documents, and photographs that detail the journeys of millions of Europeans who sailed to America between 1873 and 1934.
Located in three restored warehouses near the port, this site processed and examined more than two million emigrants before they boarded ships bound for the United States.
The museum presents personal stories of individuals who left their homelands, through original letters, luggage, photographs, and testimonials from their descendants.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, offering full wheelchair accessibility and guided tours in multiple languages.
The original medical examination and disinfection facilities remain intact, allowing visitors to walk through the same spaces where emigrants underwent mandatory inspections.
