Red Star Line: Opening People on the move

Type:  2012 and beyond, Exhibitions

The Red Star Line is an Antwerp icon. The legendary shipping company with the red star in its flag transported more than two million passengers from the city by the River Scheldt to America: poor European migrants in search of the American dream, but also wellheeled passengers on a pleasure or business trip to New York.

The old warehouses on the banks of the river Scheldt are being developed into a commemorative site and museum, a topical place for reflection with a contemporary approach to emigration.
