So when I came across the FOMU here in Antwerp on Yelp, I was intrigued to give the place a try. You can tell from the outside of the building, its not really that large of a museum, its four stories but there were only two stories open during my visit. The cost of entrance was around 8 Euros or so, they take all cards and cash. Seeing how only two floors were open, my time here wasn't long.

The history, stories, description and depiction of the travel accommodations, interviews with some of the passengers, the trials to cross Europe just to get to Antwerp, the struggles... awe inspiring.

A visit here will stay with you for a very long time.
