Titanic Exhibition

At NEC Birmingham

 

From 27th July to 25th August 2024

 

Experience the story of the Titanic as you’ve never before. Trace its journey from the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, through its fateful voyage and sinking, to its rediscovery at the bottom of the Atlantic and the legacy it leaves today.

 

Using remarkable footage of the wreckage, along with real objects and interesting artefacts recovered from the seabed, the exhibition offers a rare chance to discover more about the crew, engineers and passengers that set sail on the ship that was known as the ‘unsinkable’.

 

Visitors will be able to see items and read stories about first, second and third class passengers from both ships, as well as discovering items such as silverware and chinaware, a photographic collection from on-board passenger and survivor, Father Browne, plus many more of the Titanic’s interior and exterior artefacts that have been recovered from the wreckage site.

 

Using large imagery and audio, you'll get to experience the Titanic like never before.

Discover items from the Titanic, including:

• Playing cards and handkerchief owned by first class passenger Elsie Bowerman.

• Titanic Stoker William James Major pocket watch

• Items from the wreck site, including a small piece of the Titanic’s hull.

• Chinaware and silverware used by first class passengers.

• Items from the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, where the Titanic was built.

 

A free audio and text guide tells the tale of the Titanic and its passengers and crew with music, sound effects and actors. It’s completely free, and runs on your mobile phone. All you need is a pair of headphones and you’re good to go.
