Immersive Titanic Exhibit Opens in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – A new exhibit is set to take visitors on an immersive journey into the world of the Titanic. Opening on November 8, the exhibit showcases more than 200 authentic treasures from the iconic ship, allowing guests to explore recreated rooms, such as the famous grand staircase.

Among the historic items on display is a piece of sheet music from the ship’s band leader, found after his body was recovered. Other significant artifacts include the Wallace Hartley Funeral Memorial Book, a coffin flower, and a birth rivet left behind after Titanic’s launch on May 31, 1911, which workers took as souvenirs.

The exhibit also features a launch ticket sold by Harland & Wolff, the shipbuilder, and tiles from the ship’s Turkish baths that were ultimately rejected in the final design. “I hope people get a sense of what a really magnificent ship this was and how many different stories we have of different people,” said Orlando Saverino-Loeb, international collections manager for Titanic Immersive Voyage.

The exhibit is currently receiving its finishing touches, promising to offer a unique glimpse into the lives of Titanic’s passengers.
