| | Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition focuses on the ship’s compelling human stories, told through authentic artifacts. Perfume samples from a businessman traveling to New York, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, even a porthole from the ship itself—these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered. |
| | Over the past 25 years, more than 40 million people have seen this powerful exhibition in major museums worldwide. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is owned by RMS Titanic, Inc., the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck site of Titanic. The company was granted Salvor-in-Possession rights to the wreck site of Titanic by a United States federal court in 1994 and has conducted nine research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic retrieving more than 5,500 artifacts. |
