More than 100 years have passed since the sinking of the Titanic, but everything that surrounds this event continues to fascinate us. Now we have the opportunity to experience it in first person: this April 17 opens in Barcelona Titanic: The Official Exhibition – The Voyage Continues, which will make us feel like one more passenger or crew member. Tickets are already on sale, get them here.
Titanic The Official Exhibition – The Voyage Continues arrives for the first time in our city for a limited time, and does so in Espacio Inmersa, in the Poblenou neighborhood. This room has already hosted other successful immersive experiences in Barcelona.
The portrait of an era through its objects
The RMS Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of its time, a huge ship that could accommodate up to 2787 passengers and 885 crew members. Its construction took three years of work, until it finally left the port of Southampton (United Kingdom) on April 10, 1912, to later call at Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland). After a five-day crossing, she sank when she struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic… the rest is history.
Titanic: The Official Exhibition – The Journey Continues pays tribute to the most famous ship and to all the people who were part of this historic milestone as passengers or workers on the ocean liner through an immersive, playful, educational experience designed for all ages.
What was it like to be a first-class passenger on the Titanic? What was it like to work on the ship? Titanic: The Official Exhibition answers these and other questions thanks to the recreations of the time, which include 200 original objects of passengers or crew of the Titanic that have been recovered in the various expeditions that have been made in search of remains of the wreck.
Thus, Titanic: The Official Exhibition shows some objects that belonged to passengers of the ocean liner on its only voyage. For example, we can admire jewelry worn by Titanic’s passengers, such as a spectacular diamond ring or a silver mesh bag; several poker cards or a jacket with a “Prince of Wales” pattern (so fashionable at the time).
Objects belonging to the Titanic have also been rescued, such as the head lamp of the bow mast, a ship’s telegraph, a logometer (an instrument used to calculate the speed and distance sailed during the voyage) and sheet music of songs popular in 1912 and that probably belonged to the ship’s orchestra. There is even a bottle of champagne still with liquid in it that was bottled in the 19th century.
All these objects can be seen in their real context; Titanic: The Official Exhibition will feature faithful recreations of the ship’s spaces, such as passenger cabins or the engine room.
Relive the last hours of the Titanic (without the need for a lifeboat).
Titanic: Official The Exhibition also features several state-of-the-art facilities. On the one hand, our ticket for the Titanic gives us access to the last hours of the ship, through a spectacular immersive film that shows the collision of the ship with the iceberg and the tragic sinking that has become a legend.
On the other hand, the exhibition features a virtual reality experience that in metaverse format invites us to dive into the ocean to see the submerged remains of the ship, with the sensation of being 3.2km deep in the ocean.
Fortunately, on this trip, there is no need for lifeboats or expensive diving equipment to return home safe and sound.
