Directions
Trunks, baskets and luggage
Cross the canopy and make your way into the Ellis Immigration Museum. Continue to the ground floor entrance of the main building. You’ll spot the large “Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration” sign in the middle of the hall. Head to the plaque in the column immediately to the left of that sign. You’ll see the evocative pile of trunks, baskets, and other luggage.
