"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition"
coming to San Diego in February 2012

"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" will be coming to San Diego, opening on February 10, 2012, at the San Diego Natural History Museum, and continuing for seven months.

Titanic picture courtesy of WikipediaThe sinking of the Titanic, possibly the world's most famous sinking (nothwithstanding Gordon Lightfoot singing about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald), occurred on April 15, 1912, on the luxury liner's maiden voyage from England to the United States. The sinking was made into a movie in 1997 and won 11 Oscars.

More than 5,500 artifacts have been recovered from the Titanic wreckage, and there are multiple exhibitions going on at any one time. Running concurrently with the San Diego exhibitions will be similar exhibitions in Detroit and Las Vegas.

Tickets to the exhibition will be $27. Discounts are available for museum members (me!) and military personnel.

For more information, call 877-846-7797 or visit the San Diego Natural History Museum web site.

Sounds like a great reason to visit San Diego, as if anyone needed another reason as the city is beautiful.

Jim, That sounds like a great event to attend!  I wish that we had the time and money to go to this!  San Diego in February certainly sounds more appealing than Cedar City in February does!

Jim,

The Titanic was quite a ship and to think there was also a sister ship. The  engineering and scale of the steam engines was remark for the day.

Jim,

This is a fantastic exhibit! I saw it when it was in Milwaukee and it was outstanding. If you get a chance to see it, you'll have a much better understanding of the piece of our history. Thanks for posting this.
