The Complete Titanic Experience

As you know, the highly anticipated return of the popular exhibition, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, opened on March 27. Something you may not know, is that guests can continue their Titanic experience beyond the Science Center ─ on the area’s biggest movie screen at Whitaker Center.
TItanica, the never before seen documentary (in Central PA, that is!), takes audiences on a fascinating journey ─ combing dazzling life-size images of the remains of RMS Titanic from the ocean floor, with recollections of survivor Eva Hart, who as a seven-year-old passenger, lost her father in the tragedy.
The liner’s tragic event has been told for many years, but through the moving film, audiences will witness the high-risk Canadian-American-Russian mission dive. Throughout the film, I felt as though I was exploring the shipwreck, deep in the ocean as part of the Akademik Keldysh crew. Not only do you get to personally appreciate the legendary tale of the Ship, but also feel the magnitude of the misfortune.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is really cool to visit. You can see many incredible well-preserved artifacts and 11 new ones that have never been displayed anywhere. I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Exhibition many times and continue to discover something new and different every time.
So why not make it a Titanic-filled day at Whitaker Center? By experiencing both the Exhibition and movie you will learn more about the Ship’s history, survivors and preserved artifacts.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will be featured at Whitaker Center through September 5, 2010. For tickets and information, click here.
