Created by Premier Exhibitions Inc., this travelling exhibition features more than 275 artifacts recovered from Titanic’s undersea resting place in a series of galleries that trace the life of the “unsinkable” ship – from its design and construction through to its discovery, recovery and conservation.

As visitors climb the gangplank, boarding passes in hand, they become immersed in the passenger experience. Authentically recreated first- and third-class corridors and cabins, outdoor café and boiler room are appointed with artifacts recovered from the shipwreck site 3,800 metres below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean.

"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition isn’t just about the sinking of the Titanic," says RBCM CEO Pauline Rafferty. "It reflects the impact this historic event continues to have on all of us almost a century later. And it tells the stories, and honours the memories, of the people who lived through – and lost their lives during – this tragic incident."

The Royal BC Museum is the first venue in Western Canada to present this assembly of artifacts collected by RMS Titanic Inc., the only company in the world authorized to recover artifacts from the Titanic wreck site. RMS Titanic Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions Inc.
