At the opposite end of New York's Ellis Island, the new BallinStadt 'emigration city' museum focuses on the mass emigration from Europe to the New World, when over 5 million people left  from Hamburg harbour. Texts, films, interactive displays and original artefacts give insight in the passengers' circumstances and the facilities provided by the Hapag shipping company. The museum also has the world's most complete emigration archive, with all departures between 1850 and 1934.
