Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition
All aboard! From June 12, 2009 – January 3, 2010, the Titanic stops in Minneapolis Saint Paul at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
The Exhibition
Get your pass and prepare to board the Titanic. After being assigned a true-to-life passenger’s ticket, you will experience the (short) life of the RMS Titanic. Pass in hand, you will travel back to 1912 through photographs, sound and over 200 artifacts that tell the story of the “unsinkable” ship.
Via installations, you’ll catch a glimpse of life in first and third-class accommodations, see passenger’s personal items—shoes, perfumes—recently recovered from the Atlantic’s floor, a sight of the enormous, 3,000-pound portion of the ship’s hull, and even touch an iceberg, giving you a taste of how cold the Atlantic was on that fateful night.
Then, discover how scientists preserve artifacts like those on display. You’ll be among the first visitors in the world to see artifacts recovered from Carpathia—the ship that successfully rescued some 705 passengers (of the 2200 aboard) from the Titanic.
The Omnitheater
Complete your journey by visiting the Omnitheater's domed, giant-screen IMAX theater to see the Leonard Nemoy-narrated Titanica, a film that documents the birth, life and death of the RMS Titanic, and even takes you into the Atlantic Ocean, nearly three miles underwater to the wreckage.
