Titanic

News update from the Science Museum of Minnesota; we are going, just need to figure out when.  Special admission prices apply, even for members such as ourselves, but ticket prices are lower in June then go up to a higher price July thru January.

June 12, 2009 - January 3, 2010

Individual tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, April 14, 2009. This is the 97th anniversary of the fateful day that the luxury ocean liner struck the iceberg.

Ninety-seven years ago, on an otherwise calm April morning in 1912, the world's largest ship, the White Star Line's RMS Titanic, sank during her maiden voyage after a colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

On board were 2,228 passengers, including titans of commerce and industry, artists, senior members of governments, immigrant families dreaming of a new life and more than 890 members of her crew. More than 1,500 people died. No one believed it could happen.

Today, this epic story is revived through Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. Viewed by more than 20 million people worldwide, the exhibition is among the highest attended in history.

New in St. Paul! When Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition opens at the Science Museum of Minnesota, it will feature the worldwide debut of artifacts from RMS Carpathia, the ship that answered Titanic's distress call. These newly-recovered items paint a picture of the historic rescue that captured the imaginations of people around the world.
