Red Star Line Museum, Antwerp Overview

The Red Star Line Museum in Antwerp is dedicated to the history of the Red Star Line shipping company, which operated from 1873 to 1934. During this period, the company transported nearly two million European emigrants from Antwerp to North America, many seeking better lives. The museum is housed in the original departure warehouses where passengers underwent medical checks and disinfection before embarking on their transatlantic journey.

The museum offers an immersive experience, guiding visitors through the emigrants' journey—from their decision to leave, through their time in Antwerp, to their voyage across the Atlantic and arrival in the New World. Personal stories, photographs, and artifacts provide insight into the challenges and hopes of these travelers. Notable emigrants who traveled via the Red Star Line include composer Irving Berlin and former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
