The countdown begins: the exhibition on the most famous ship says goodbye to Espacio Inmersa in Barcelona after months of success. Titanic: The Official Exhibition – The Voyage Continues closes its doors on October 3 and there are fewer and fewer tickets left for these last sessions: don’t miss out and get yours here.
A portrait of an era through its artifacts
The RMS Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of its time, a huge vessel that could accommodate up to 2787 passengers and 885 crew. 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. From clothing to accessories (wallets, suitcases, jewelry or shoes) and toiletries, many of these artifacts are preserved in very good condition, as if decades of immersion in the wreck site had frozen them in 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 many everyday items. Thus, we can see different sets of dishes with which the menus were served in the dining room, a bottle of champagne still unopened and several objects with the logo of the White Star Line.
All these objects are displayed in different rooms of Espacio Inmersa, putting them in context and with a large number of explanatory texts that are unraveling the day to day of the voyage of the Titanic. In addition, Titanic: The Official Exhibition has faithfully recreated some iconic rooms of the ship, such as a corridor, the luxurious staircase that immortalized the cinema, a first class cabin or the cabins of the workers on board.
Relive the last hours of the Titanic (no lifeboat required).
Titanic: Official The Exhibition also features several state-of-the-art installations. 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 has a virtual reality experience in metaverse format that invites us to dive into the ocean to see the submerged remains of the ship, with the feeling of being 3.2km deep in the ocean, and to live a most exciting adventure (we do not continue to not make spoilers). This experience, absolutely recommended, is accessed with the VIP ticket.
Fortunately, on this trip, there is no need for lifeboats or expensive diving equipment to return home safe and sound.
