About Titanic – The Artifact Exhibition
The sinking of the mighty RMS Titanic in April 1912 is an event forever enshrined in American (not to mention international) history, memorialized in song, literature and, of course, the blockbuster film named for the doomed ship. Part of the public's continuing fascination with the event is that in addition to tragedy it represents heroism on the part of the crew, and survival for those who lived to tell the tale. People can engage with the story of the Titanic on all of those levels, and that's where Titanic – The Artifact Exhibition comes in. It allows you to walk into that maritime world for a while, view actual historic items from the ship and interact with the Titanic experience in an unforgettable way.
Probably the most immediately arresting artifact included in the exhibition is the aptly dubbed The Big Piece. It's an enormous, 15-ton section of the Titanic's hull, which lends a sense of the massive ship's scale. But there are plenty of other items recovered from the ship, including postcards, money, playing cards, dishes and personal effects. And in addition to artifacts, re-creations help to bring the whole experience home to visitors. You'll hear accounts of the passengers' own experiences on the Titanic, see their individual boarding passes for the boat and visit startlingly realistic simulations of different parts of the ship. The promenade deck, the staircase and the sleeping quarters are reproduced in dazzling detail. You can even view a re-creation of the huge iceberg that brought so many of the Titanic's passengers to their grim, terrible fate and get a visceral understanding of the forces of nature that were at work. It all adds up to an emotional experience that's simultaneously sad and inspiring, and the exhibit makes you feel as if you're taking part in a historic saga.
Very informative with interesting artifacts. Hard to get close enough to see anything due to the crowds.
For me personally, a very nice emotional exhibition, where there were identical places as in the real Titanic (at least in the movie one). I definitely recommend it. I came to Vegas from Slovakia.
If the person working the exhibit entrance was the person selling the tickets, I would not have made my purchase. It was a complete disregard of what customer service means. It really threw off my expectations of the exhibit. If I didn’t take my time to get there, I would of asked for a refund. Besides the personnel issues, the exhibit was good and interesting. If you do go, just hope the person at the entrance gate was not the one who “helped” me.
This was such an amazing experience! The amount of artifacts and information was the best by far. The museum is set up just perfectly! They provide an immersive experience that you won’t ever forget. If you are having doubts, consider this as your sign to just go! Aside from how amazing their displays are, the staff was so knowledgeable and friendly.
I loved it. I liked the piece of the ship. Everything was so amazing
Took my Titanic fanatic teen here for their birthday. It was amazing. More than both of us expected. She was thrilled. I don’t want to give any spoilers but we were shocked by what was inside. Amazing experience, the time went by fast. You can’t get any closer to Titanic history than this, aside from visiting the wreck site itself of course! What a Las Vegas gem!
I LOVE the Titanic and when I heard about this I got super excited. It's definitely very informative with some real items from the ship, but I think its a bummer that you have to pay to get your picture taken at the famous stairs! People already paid tickets to be inside, just give them that!
This is cool for what it was. If you need to fill time, go check this out.
I liked how it was designed like the actual ship. I liked the set up and l learning the different stories. It was nice and I'm glad I visited it. The only criticism is that they let too many people in at the same time. Trying to read a story and you had people breathing down your neck because they don't understand the meaning of personal space , pandemic or not.
Phenomenal Experience, that blew away any expectations i had
