What is the Exhibition like?
The Exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic's compelling human stories as best told through hundreds of authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, even a 3,000 pound portion of Titanic's hull -- these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered.

How Many Titanic Exhibitions are there? Is this the same Exhibition that was in Chicago or Oshkosh?
To date, RMS Titanic, Inc. has recovered over 5,500 objects from the wreck site, ranging from delicate porcelain dishes to a 17-ton section of the hull. Of course, we will not have all of these artifacts in the Milwaukee version of the Exhibition - we will have hundreds of artifacts, but many of the recovered objects are still being conserved. Once objects are conserved, they are split between the many Titanic exhibitions circulating at any given time. Currently, there are Titanic Exhibitions in Monterrey, Mexico; Hartford, CT; Prague, Czech Republic; Las Vegas, Nevada; Galveston, TX; and Pittsburgh, PA.

These exhibitions are not all the same size, however. The Milwaukee Exhibition, at 15,000 square feet, is a very large exhibition. The only other Midwestern Museum to host a "large" version of the Exhibition was Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry in 2000. While the Chicago Exhibition was similar in size, the Milwaukee Exhibition, because of the continuous work in retrieving and conserving artifacts, will have many new components as compared to the earlier version. Smaller exhibitions, such as the version that traveled to Oshkosh in 2006, are also very popular, but are not able to display nearly as many artifacts or big components such as the ice wall or room re-creations.

Why conserve artifacts from the Titanic's wreck site?
The bottom of the deep ocean is a hostile environment. Over time, man-made objects will be consumed by bacteria, abraded by sediments, and corroded by salt and acids. Even the Ship itself is slowly being destroyed by iron-eating microorganisms and will one day collapse on the ocean floor. Artifacts that are not recovered from the wreck site will eventually be lost. RMS Titanic, Inc. is committed to recovering, conserving, and exhibiting artifacts from the Titanic's wreck site to help preserve the physical memory of the Ship and the people who perished in the disaster.

Where is the wreck of the Titanic?
Titanic's wreck site is located 963 miles northeast of New York and 453 miles southeast of the Newfoundland coastline.

How deep is the wreck?
Titanic lies 2.5 miles beneath the ocean surface, where the pressure is 6,000 pounds per square inch.

How many survivors are alive today?
There is only one survivor still alive, Milvina Dean. Ms. Dean lives in the UK.
