While the opulence of the ship’s interiors is awe-inspiring, the exhibit doesn’t shy away from the tragedy that befell the Titanic. One of the most emotionally powerful sections is the memorial to the passengers and crew who lost their lives. The exhibit pays tribute to their stories, offering a glimpse into their lives, dreams, and aspirations. Through personal artifacts, photographs, and touching narratives, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the human cost of the disaster.
