I enjoyed the experience and the immersion of the stories of people who were on the Titanic while also showing the different accommodations and artifacts that showed what said passengers would have slept on, experienced, and used.
However, I felt as though the showcase of artifacts and variety itself was lacking. There was a significant collection of different White Star Line kitchen cookery and plate sets, which did have some interesting pieces of fine craftsmanship but we're not actually artifacts recovered from the ship as far as I could tell.
There were also a lot of interesting pamphlets and photographs as well, but again made up the majority of the artifacts displayed. Towards the end there were two items that were labeled as Titanic artifacts taken from the ship itself which was amazing to see, but slightly misleading in the sense of what was truly being exhibited at what was clearly advertised as the "Titanic" and not "White Star Line" exhibit.
I can understand that these exhibits may be presented differently than before with how many Titanic exhibits exist nowadays across the US, along with the importance of the Titanic resting site being a mass grave which requires incredible respect as such. Regardless, for those who don't know much about the Titanic and its passengers, it's a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening with a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBeautiful concept, but disappointing execution.
Iāve always been deeply fascinated by the Titanic... its history, its people, and the emotional weight of the tragedy. I love learning about it, and prior to this, I had only visited the Titanic Exhibition in Las Vegas, which I absolutely loved. It was immersive, emotional, and filled with authentic artifacts and stories that truly connected you to that moment in history.
Unfortunately, the Titanic Exhibition in Sandy, Utah, didnāt capture that same magic. It felt more like a money grab than an authentic historical experience. There was only one actual artifact from the Titanic itself... everything else was from the RMS Olympic (a sister ship) or other White Star Line vessels. One entire section was even dedicated to the movie, featuring replica props and costumes rather than genuine historical items.
As someone who truly loves the Titanic and the real stories behind it, I left feeling disappointed. I always appreciate opportunities to learn more, but this particular exhibit simply didnāt deliver the depth or authenticity I...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreTo preface, we have a double side by side stroller for our twins that can fit through a standard doorway. The people at the front told us we couldnāt take it in cause āwe donāt have standard doorways and it wonāt fitā (which would be illegal and not pass fire safety). They made us carry our kids through the whole exhibition only for me to find that most of their doorways are big gaping archways to walk through. They had maybe 2 doors and of course our stroller would fit through because they legally have to be 32ā and our stroller is only 30ā wide. Absolutely ridiculous. We had a shortened experience because carrying our kids is much shorter lived than pushing them in a stroller. The question is should we sue for ānot standard size doorsā cause itās a safety hazard or were they just being discriminatory to our stroller because it looks just a tad wider than a one...
