Titanic Exhibit

The Titanic Exhibit has been in Pittsburgh since May. Ever since I saw the advertisement, I have been dying to go. Suddenly, we realized that the exhibit might be leaving soon. I looked it up and panicked! It was leaving the 1st of September! With only one day off this week, we jumped at the opportunity and went on Wednesday. Phew, we made it!

Remember when the Titanic exhibit was in Arizona? 7 years ago! That exhibit was like the mother of all exhibits. Apparently there are 5 different exhibits that tour all around the world. I didn't know that before we went and thought to myself "I remember there being different things in AZ." The Pittsburgh exhibit was a lot smaller than the one in AZ. However, for you Californians, it's the exact same exhibit that was at the Queen Mary.

Obviously, you are not allowed to take pictures inside the exhibit. Some things that were showcased were the door from D Deck, au gratin dishes, a steward's shirt, a wine bottle still that still had wine in it, perfume bottles, a frame to a window in a cafe, luggage, china, and much more.

The director at the Pittsburgh Carnegie Science Center was so nice and gave us extra boarding passes. Each boarding pass contains information and the name of someone who sailed the Titanic. At the very end of the exhibit, there is a list of names according to class... ones who survived, and the ones who did not. In that moment you realize, wow- I was given this person and that could have been me.
