Experience Titanic Now–Mon., April 15, 2024

Now offering extended hours on Saturdays only for TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition! On Saturdays, the last entry is 6 pm and the Exhibition closes promptly at 7 pm.

On the night of April 14, 1912, at 11:40 pm, just four days after setting sail on its inaugural voyage, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. At 2:20 am on April 15, the ship slipped into the North Atlantic Ocean and was lost.

Embark on a captivating voyage back in time to the era of Titanic, where the poignant stories of real passengers and crew come to life through a meticulously curated collation of authentic artifacts and immersive settings at TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition.

Upon entering the Exhibition, you will be handed a boarding pass bearing the name of an actual passenger. As you traverse the Exhibition, allow your imagination to transport you to the opulent world of the “Ship of Dreams.” Experience the grandeur through full-scale room re-creations and authentic artifacts that weave the intricate tapestry of the Titanic, as well as the lives of its passengers and crew.

See more than 154 genuine artifacts honorably and carefully recovered from the Titanic wreck site. Among these artifacts are a telegraph mechanism, delicate Saalfeld perfume vials and labels, playing cards, exquisite passenger jewelry, and even au gratin dishes discovered in an almost perfect stack amidst the wreck site of this iconic vessel.

Viewed by more than 30 million people worldwide, TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition is an educational and entertaining experience for all ages. Get tickets to one of the best exhibitions in Pittsburgh – it is only here for a limited time!
