This year marks The Titanic's 100-year anniversary, and I was delighted that my neighborhood is one venue of an artifact exhibition which ran from June to September 2012 on the 8th floor of Central World.
They have some of the most familiar images at the entrance
It was such a wonderful travel back in time
When I checked in I was given a packet that in the excitement with history I forgot to give a look at until last night when I took photos of it.
As cameras were off limits inside I just took notes of as many objects on display as I could in a temperature that curdled my Southeast Asian blood. Viewers were treated to a great finale. We walked on 'glass' where underneath we could see those dining plates neatly stacked and other objects as they were found on the ocean floor. Outside was a large poster of the crew for a parting image.
I wrote a piece on Titanic a few months ago!

I must have missed it.
DeleteThat must have been quite an exhibit to view and the souvenier ticket very special.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for our T week! I saw some models of the Titanic at the Maritime Museum in Liverpool this summer.

That would be so interesting to visit. What a special Museum.
ReplyDeleteThe story of Titanic has been a popular story and unfortunate for the big ship to hit the iceberg. Must have been a great exhibit.
ReplyDeleteTitanic artifacts wow. This brings a lot of histories and lessons to be learned and avoided.

Even in our library, Titanic books are always a huge hit with the kids. I also am quite caught up in the frenzy. It's almost eerie, looking at those.
ReplyDeleteit must have been really fun to have seen an exhibit for something that you love so much - and you've got some great souvenirs!
