About this school trip
The Red Star Line Museum in Antwerp tells the story of the millions of people who left Antwerp for America on the Red Star Line, in search of a new life. Under the motto 'Millions of people, one dream', pupils make a moving journey in the footsteps of the emigrants, from the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean to their arrival at Ellis Island.
In the permanent presentation, objects, documents and testimonies filmed in America bring this past close. The museum also links that history to present-day migration stories, which offers plenty of starting points for history and citizenship lessons. Groups can book a guided tour – we are happy to help with that.
We are happy to take care of transport to Antwerp for you and your pupils. Your group travels comfortably and safely by coach to the museum, with an experienced driver at the wheel. You can easily combine the visit with the MAS for a full day in the port city.
