The Titanic Exhibition opens in Aberdeen next month. The show is being tun by White Star Heritage, which is led by a team Titanic experts and organised shows about the doomed ship everywhere from Glasgow to Cardiff to Torquay. So, you’ll be in good hands.
On entry, every visitor will be handed the passenger card of a real person who boarded the Titanic – at the end you find out if your passenger survived the sinking. Actors in crew uniform will be dotted around and interacting with visitors too.
The exhibition itself will feature the real belongings of both passengers and crew and fragments that have been recovered from the underwater wreckage. There’s a four page letter that was written on board by a first class passenger named William Henry Harrison, an intact deck chair that was recovered from the ocean just days after the catastrophe and what’s believed to be the largest piece of the ship’s grand staircase. You’ll also be able to see accurate recreations of the Titanic’s anchor, bridge and wreck.
Fans of the 1997 film will be catered for too. The Titanic Exhibition has a section dedicated to the ship’s legacy and cultural impact, featuring actual costumes and props used in the movie.
On top of all of that, Dik Barton, one of the few people to have dived 3,840 metres underwater to the shipwreck and the very first British man to have done so, will be running daily lectures on what it’s like to uncover artefacts from the deep.
Titanic Exhibition will be at Aberdeen’s P&J Live from March 26 until April 12. You can book tickets here. If Aberdeen’s too far out of the way, you can wait until the exhibition travels down south and opens at London’s Olympia in the summer.
