The Red Star Line Museum, situated in Antwerp, Belgium, explores the history of the Red Star Line shipping company that enabled over two million Europeans to migrate to North America. Inaugurated on September 28, 2013, the museum focuses on the narratives of significant immigrants, including Albert Einstein and Irving Berlin. Visitors journey from the travel agency in Warsaw to the new lives in the United States. The collection of personal items, photographs, and documents illustrates the timeless theme of migration. Housed in historic pavilions, restored by Beyer, Blinder Belle Architects, the museum features a distinctive tower shaped like a ship's smokestack, providing views over Antwerp's port.
