TITANTIC EXHIBITION

valerie osterhoudt

Looking for something to do this weekend since it is supposed to be raining and cool this weekend. Yes, pools and beaches might be out of the question. But there is an exhibit at the LX Center (used to be Civic Center) in Hartford, CT that might be of interest. The Titanic Exhibition is there, and in it's final weeks. If you ever wanted to know more, and see actual artifacts that were retrieved for this luxury liner? Now is your chance. The exhibit is open Friday and Saturday from 10:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday from 10:00am to 6:00pm. They also have recreated the first and third class cabins to give you a real feel of what it was like. So, if you want to visit 1912 and get away for a while.. this is the opportunity to do so.

For more information and locations you can visit "Titanic - The Artifact Exhibition"

***Of course I waited until the last minute, but I made it to the Titanic Exhibition at the XL Center in Hartford, CT, today, Sunday, September 21. Today was the last day of the exhibition. This was one of the best, and erry exhibits I have gone to. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing this if it comes to your town.***

Now this is something I would love to see. I wonder if they will be coming to Charlotte? I tried the link and couldn't find anything about future exhibits. If you find out please let me know. Thanks!!

Teresa.. I went through the link in this blog, and you are right, it wasn't that informative. So, I've attached another link.. hopefully this one will serve you better.

Valerie, I hadn't seen anything before on this. I would be interesting to see the exhibit, and all the history behind this.

I had the opportunity to see the exhibit when it was at San Francisco's Metreon Center. They had so many artifacts on display.

One piece in particular was a 12-ton section of the hull. This would have come from the portion of the hull that broke away as the ship ripped itself apart as it sank.

They also had a 2 foot x 3 foot section of the hull under a thick plastic box. At one location on this box was a single solitary hole where you could place your index finger down and actually touch the Titanic.

The entire exhibit was a somber experience and very respectful to the people who lost their lives in this, the most famous of all maritime tragedies.

George.. I found out that it is ending on the 21st of this month, which is next weekend... So there *really* isn't much time left.

Michael, Thank you so much for commenting on this blog. I am DEFINITELY going to take this in while it is still here. I've always been intrigue by the Titanic, and it would be a shame to miss out on this.

I would love to see the exhibit, but live way too far away. I am intrigued by the story. Maybe someday it will come to my area.

Chasity... I'm still trying to make it there. It is only going to be at the XL Center until Sunday of this week. I'm going to try to pull away either today or tomorrow to go see it... it is (maybe) only 20 minutes away.. I'd be a fool to miss out.
