April 15 is the 113th anniversary of the Titanic’s tragic sinking, and there’s no better way to ensure the stories of those onboard live on than by learning more about the ill-fated vessel at Titanic: The Exhibition.
The exhibit will have a Titanic Anniversary Movie Screening on Sunday, April 13th at 3pm. The add-on includes general admission to a special screening of the Titanic movie at The Texas Theater, including a pre-show welcome with Titanic explorer Mark Lach and a post-show Q&A.
Featuring artifacts from the actual Titanic and other period ships, recreated areas of the vessel’s interior and exterior, and accounts from passengers, Titanic: The Exhibition is the ultimate love letter to the iconic ship.
In the early morning of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic sailed through the dreaded “Iceberg Alley” in the North Atlantic Sea, off the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Three days later, after the RMS Carpathia arrived in New York with Titanic’s survivors, a tragedy was reported around the globe.
With countless movies, shows, specials, books, and more media covering all aspects of the Titanic, there are bound to be misconceptions and exaggerations about the liner. For example, many believe that the ship was advertised as “unsinkable,” though it rarely ever was.
Titanic: The Exhibition is an in-depth examination of the ship’s entire lifespan—from design to recovery—using actual artifacts, eyewitness accounts, and historical data to outline only the facts and dispel such misconceptions.
112 years later, we still remember this monumental event, those who lost their lives, and those who lived with the trauma afterwards. And in the words of journalist Marina Tavares Dias, “Titanic started a voyage through history when it sailed away. One century later, there is still no port in sight.”
You can learn all about Titanic’s design, voyage, sinking, and recovery at Titanic: The Exhibition, open now at 14902 Preston Road Dallas #1200.
