The exhibition has been created with a focus on the Titanic's compelling human stories, told through authentic artefacts and exacting re-creations of the ship's interior. Delicate bottles of perfume, china bearing the logo of the elite White Star Line, even a piece of the hull of the Titanic - these and many other objects collected from the wreck site offer poignant connections to lives abruptly ended or forever changed by one of the world's greatest maritime disasters.

As they enter the exhibition, each visitor is presented with a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger, drawing them back in time to 1912 and the ship's fateful maiden voyage. Then begins a journey through the life of the Titanic, from construction to life on board, to its ill-fated voyage, tragic sinking and the amazing efforts to recover artefacts.

Along the way visitors will marvel at the full-size recreation of the ship's Grand Staircase, learn countless stories of heroism and humanity and even press their palms against an 'iceberg'.
