TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition at The Castle at Park Plaza

 
 

Have you ever wondered what it was like to walk aboard the RMS Titanic, the ship that was supposed to be unsinkable? Now, with the extended run of TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition at The Castle at Park Plaza, visitors are given a unique opportunity to step back in time.

An Immersive Experience

From the moment visitors enter, they are handed a replica boarding pass and transformed into passengers of the ill-fated ship. The 15,000-square-foot exhibition features meticulously recreated interiors like the opulent Grand Staircase, offering a glimpse into the luxury and grandeur of the early 20th century. Each turn through the exhibit reveals more about the ship's life from construction to its tragic end, with authentic artifacts salvaged from the ocean depths.

Real Stories, Real Artifacts

The heart of this exhibition lies in the stories of the passengers and crew, told through their personal items. Each artifact, whether a pocket watch, a piece of jewelry, or a simple letter, connects visitors to the human aspect of this historical event. The tales of notable figures like Molly Brown, the "unsinkable" socialite, are highlighted, giving faces and personalities to the names we've heard in history books.
