Rotterdam museum Fenix explores immigration through art

A new museum, Fenix, has opened in Rotterdam, Netherlands, exploring immigration through art and personal stories. The museum aims to share universal experiences of migration. Located at the former site of the Holland-America Line, the museum features exhibits like the "Suitcase Labyrinth" and "The Family of Migrants," showcasing diverse perspectives on displacement through art, photographs, and personal objects. The museum's opening coincides with rising anti-immigration sentiment. The museum, designed by Chinese architect Ma Yansong, includes a double staircase called the "Tornado" and an exhibition of contemporary art. It aims to reflect the journeys of migrants who passed through the building.
