Science Center gets set for 'Titanic' summer
The Carnegie Science Center will open a special summer exhibit on the Titanic, the ship that struck an iceberg 96 years ago on the night of April 14th, and sank into the Atlantic Ocean early the next morning.
"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" -- which opens on May 24 and runs through Sept. 1 -- features more than 260 artifacts retrieved from the ship's grave, such as spoons, china, passengers' personal items, coins and jewelry. Each visitor, upon entering the exhibit, will receive a replica of a boarding pass of an actual passenger, then go on a chronological journey through the ship's life. Ticket information for the exhibit -- sponsored by Atlanta-based RMS Titanic, Inc. -- will be available in coming weeks.
"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" is not the same exhibit as "Titanic Science: The Real Artifacts, The Real Stories," which was at the North Side center in 2004-'05.
Details: 412-237-3400.
