Titanic Exhibit on It’s Way..
I enjoyed this exhibit years ago, (and I do mean YEARS ago) while it was in St. Petersburg, Florida I was there attending a conference in Orlando and we drove 2 hours just to see this exhibit in St. Petersburg. I will admit we did enjoy the beach, pier, views and weather that day as well!
I am SO excited to see it here in Raleigh at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences & this time I will get to share it with my family!
I have always been captivated by the stories of The Titanic, the mysteries that surround it and the artifacts that are shared in this exhibit are extraordinary! Well preserved silver, dinnerware, china, photo and even handwritten letters are on display.
On April 15, 1912, Titanic, the world’s largest ship of its time, sank after colliding with an iceberg, claiming more than 1,500 lives and shaking the world’s confidence in the infallibility of modern technology. One hundred years later, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, which showcases 200 artifacts retrieved from the wreck site of Titanic, arrives at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
The story of the sinking is legendary; now experience the wonder and tragedy of the ill-fated “ship of dreams” on a journey through Titanic history.
Experience Titanic’s fateful 1912 maiden voyage and take on the identity of a real passenger onboard Titanic as you explore magnificent re-creations of the ship’s interior. Discover how the ‘unsinkable’ ship met its tragic end and connect with the passengers and crew, as you view haunting artifacts recovered from the wreck during the eight research and recovery expeditions conducted by RMS Titanic, Inc. since the ship’s discovery in 1985.
RMS Titanic, Inc. has a singular purpose: to faithfully and respectfully preserve the memory of Titanic and of all who sailed with her. In all activities and events related to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences wishes to remember and honor those whose lives were lost due to the Titanic’s tragic sinking 100 years ago.
The exhibit begins on September 29th 2012 and run thru April 28, 2013, plan now so you can go maybe while the kids have a few days off from school (or when they DON’T have a few days off). What you need to KNOW before you GO!
