The Titanic is exhibit is unlike any other exhibit you'll ever go to. Instead of the usual museum experience of just walking around and looking at stuff, the Titanic exhibition immerses you into the time period. You are transported back to an era before the World Wars; back when the industrial revolution was just reaching adolescence, back when there were races to build the biggest ships to ever set sail. And it all starts from the time you pay for admission and receive your "boarding pass." Its like you are actually boarding the tragic ship itself.
Unlike a museum, the Titanic Exhibition has a cast of actors on hand. These actors portray characters based on the crew and passengers of the Titanic. Through their individual stories, you are guided through through the full-scale replicas of the Titanic's most famous rooms. These rooms have actual artifacts from the ship itself (there are over 200 artifacts in total to be found in this attraction). There's even movie memorabilia from the the James Cameron, Oscar-nominated, film.
The experience can be likened to going on a cruise. You get a boarding pass, get on the ship, receive a warm greeting from the captain, are shown your room, invited to the dining room, and even have a little dance in the ballroom. That is where the similarities between the Titanic exhibition and an actual cruise end, however.
As the tour goes on, you'll enter a room that's dark and a little chilly, almost ice cold. This is the part of the museum that mimics the Titanic's tragic end. Solid ice that you actually can touch, is scattered through out the room. There's a really big piece in the center. They call this part of the exhibition the Underwater room. You'll find an 8-foot replica of the Titanic, modeled in the likeness of the real Titanic as it lies on the bottom of the Atlantic today, in the Underwater room as well.
Visiting the Titanic Exhibition will be unlike any museum you have have ever been to. Because at the Titanic Exhibition is not just a tour, it is an experience.
