The museum's website notes that visitors will "experience migration through the eyes of international artists like Shilpa Gupta, Steve McQueen, Rineke Dijkstra, and Kimsooja. Or get swept away by hundreds of documentary photos in The Family of Migrants. In The Suitcase Labyrinth, you’ll hear personal stories from travellers themselves. Plein is a new covered city square inside the building, where Fenix creates the programming in collaboration with the people of Rotterdam. Craving a snack or anything? In Fenix, you’ll taste dishes that travel with people from all over the world."
