FENIX MUSEUM OF MIGRATION, ROTTERDAM
Where have we come from, where will we go, and how do our movements affect how we all live together? The story of human migration is one of the most important in modern history, and it's what the new Fenix Museum of Migration - the first of its kind - aims to tell via art, history and photography when it opens on May 16. Funded by the billionaire Van der Vorm family through its family foundation and designed by MAD Architects, the museum sits along Rotterdam's city harbour in one of the world's biggest warehouses that used to belong to the Holland-America Line, where millions once began their trans-Atlantic journey of migration.
At the centre of the building rises a gleaming silver double-helix staircase called the Tornado, a symbol of the unpredictable-ness of migrant journeys around the world, while inside, visitors can experience exhibits like The Suitcase Labyrinth, a giant installation made up of thousands of donated suitcases from 19th century bags to modern Samsonites, all of which come with labels that can be scanned for their individual stories.
