Traveler reviews
Gordon Gordey
★★★★★3 months agoIf you care for where European immigrants departed from for North America and Brazil this is a must visit. Nicely laid out with great captioned info. Set aside 2 hours.
Rachel Stevens
★★★★★11 months agoPlease note: text boxes are in German and English, see photos. This is a very good museum on the emigrant experience, mostly in the nineteenth century. The layout is a bit confusing and I found it difficult to follow the sequential numbering of the displays. The restaurant is basic and the gift shop is tiny.
