The former warehouses of the Red Star Line in Antwerp were designated as a landmark and reopened as a museum on 28 September 2013 by the City of Antwerp.
The main focus of the museum is the travel stories that could be retrieved through relatives of the some two million Red Star Line passengers.
In the exhibition the visitor follows the travelers' tracks from the travel agency in Warsaw until their arrival in New York.
The museum exhibits works of art depicting the Red Star Line emigrants by the Antwerp artist Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875-1930), together with Red Star Line memorabilia from the collection of Robert Vervoort.

About a quarter of the some two million Red Star Line migrants were Jews, largely from Eastern Europe until the exodus driven by the rise of Nazi Germany.
Among them were many famous persons, including regular passenger Albert Einstein.
On learning of the Nazi confiscation of his possessions, Einstein chose not to return to Germany; his letter resigning from the Prussian Academy of Sciences, written on the line's stationery, is a part of the museum exhibit.
Other notable emigrants included the five-year-old Irving Berlin.
