Subject: LL-L Events

 For whom is interested in *migration from Continental Europe to the US*.
I got this open invitation from the Van Mieghem Museum in Antwerp.
Van Mieghem was a painter in the Antwerp harbor, and the subjects of his
work included emigrants taking the Red Star line.
There is a Van Mieghem Museum on the river Schelde left bank in Antwerp.
There will be a Red Star Line section in the new MAS museum, which is
actually being contructed on the site of the former large Hanze warehouse.

The invitation is quoted below.
The corresponding leaflet is temporarily stored at url:

Regards,
Roger
