The Artifacts

Throughout the exhibit, Titanic's artifacts are intertwined with full sensory displays that place the relics in a context to convey the experience of those aboard the great ship. Among the hundreds of artifacts on display in Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit are many spectacular and never before seen items including an alligator skin bag that belonged to Marion Meanwell, a Titanic passenger who was originally scheduled to sail on the Majestic but was transferred to the Titanic. Guests can see perfume samples that were being transported to New York, a D-Deck door that may have been used as an escape door, the bronze cherub from the Grand Staircase and much more.

Five galleries take visitors on a chronological journey through the life of the Titanic, from the building of the legend to life on board, featuring authentically recreated first- and third-class staterooms with furnishings made by original manufacturers. Guests will pick up a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger and glimpse a typical day aboard the great vessel by strolling through the Veranda Café, one of the dining areas on the ship.

In the Iceberg Gallery, guests can touch an "iceberg" and ponder the temperature of the water the night Titanic sank. Lastly, guests will learn about the technology and artistry it takes to recover Titanic's artifacts and preserve them for future generations, as well as visit a Memorial Wall where they can learn about the passenger whose boarding pass they've carried throughout the exhibit.
