Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

This is a must see if you have any interest in the Titanic and history. I thoroughly enjoyed going through this exhibit. There are many actual artifacts on display and great information on the placards. The rooms are set up nicely with artifacts, replicas and photos. The flow between rooms is perfect. They take you from the building of the Titanic to the impact with the iceberg to the rescue and recovery. It’s chilling looking at the actual artifacts and then thinking about what happened, the human challenges, and death. It’s especially chilling reading the placard of one of the actual Main Engine Room Telegraphs and then trying to put yourself in that position.

The staff at the Artifact Exhibition are really awesome. Everyone I encountered was very polite, professional and helpful.

We highly recommend the Titanic Dinner Gala—a truly memorable experience. We started our day with a self-guided museum tour, a decision that proved wise. It allowed us ample time to explore the artifacts at our own pace before the evening’s structured event. At the dinner, each guest is paired with a real Titanic passenger, and the actors immerse you in April 14, 1912 (as if in real-time), with such skill that the moment feels alive—no mention of the iceberg or the ship’s fate disrupts the illusion.
As the night progresses, the performers shift the tone, calling for respect and attention as the evening turns more serious. I won’t reveal every detail, but their dedication shines through, especially in the final moments, where the emotion is palpable and moving.
We opted to dress in period attire, which added to the occasion’s allure. Among a lively crowd, several guests later wished they’d known to do the same—some even asked for photos with us. Our group of three, alongside another trio and a few well-dressed ladies, stood out as the handful who embraced the opportunity, making it all the more special.
