Lipont Place — Attraction in Richmond

The Titanic exhibition here wasn't exactly something special for people are who up to snuff on their Titanic history. It was rather basic information and there were a few inaccuracies in what little information they presented. There were some interesting artifacts that had been recovered from the wreck site throughout the exhibit and they were okay to see, but they weren't exactly exciting items. I was hoping for more items like what's on display at the Luxor casino in Las Vegas.

The 1:100 scale model of the ship halfway through was a bit disappointing, it wasn't exactly museum quality. While a neat scratch build, it wasn't something worth paying to see, the builder used bit of fishing tackle for the rigging and the funnels weren't in-line. The scale of the propellers seemed off, the beam of the ship seemed too broad.

I was looking forward to the interior set re-creations, but they were slapped together and were not clean, sloppy joints at the seams, they looked very very tired and I was disappointed in what they offered. The best one was the boiler room recreation with the automatic watertight door, but it was dark in there so it wasn't hard to hide a bad job.

The only impressive part of this whole exhibit was the scale model of the bow portion of the wreck. It was an incredible and absolutely a beautiful museum piece. The creator of that piece should be enormously proud, because it stands alone as a significant contribution to a Titanic collection. Fully detailed down to the bends in the handrails, the folds of the steel hull, the cables and rusticles and the interior decks were even recreated inside of it. I was blown away by its detail and beauty. This was the one good reason to see the exhibit if you're a Titanic officiando such as myself. That, and it got my wife a little more interested in...

Just finished a 2 day event at the Lipont Gallery and cannot recommend them enough. Patrick, who looks after the gallery was the most wonderfully accommodating host. The venue was the perfect venue for the Nissan Pole 2 Pole event. We also had the most AMAZING AV/Tech team from the Gaming Studio that shares the building with the gallery. They had our backs from the minute we walked in to the minute we packed and left, going above and beyond to ensure our event was nothing but an immense success. This was not a small event with 5 cars needing to be brought in, placed and lit and never did we feel like anything was beyond their realm.

Honestly, as a venue, gaming studio or even if you need an AV/Tech team in Richmond, BC, this should be your first call. Loved every minute of working with the entire team and look forward to another opportunity to work with them again.

Patrick, Jordan, AJ and all of your teams, from Pumped and Nissan,...

where my stairs at?! edit: Referring to the titanic stairs. If it was made more clear on the website that the replica grand staircase were not available, I likely would not have gone. I was very interested in seeing it for myself, but instead it was just a picture of the stair case - which was rather disappointing, having a brown tinge to it. I suppose it being the original photo rather than a photo of...
