See the Titanic exhibit at the Luxor.

Reo & I saw it and it was awesome!

I saw one at the Queen Mary once. That was a pretty rad location for it. Not the same exhibit with the cool giant piece of ship, but an earlier one with lots of creepy stuff (shoes and dolls, etc.) dredged up from the wreck. Really neat and eerie.

I passed on the Luxor version last time I was there. But your timing couldn't have been better (on the hundredth anniversary of the sinking).

We're going to the one that's here in San Diego this weekend with Maddie's grandma. When you go in you get a passengers ticket with name etc then at the end you find out if you made it or not.

Details here

Oooh, KS. That sounds kind of like the DC Holocaust museum, where similarly, you find out if the child on your ticket made it through the camps. Compelling yet deeply macabre.

While these commercial shows are interesting, I still wish Robert Ballard had claimed salvage rights to the ship and used them to preserve the wreck rather than leaving the window open for RMS Titanic INC to claim the rights and pillage at will.
