Titanic: the immersive exhibition at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is extended: photos

On April 15, 1912, a terrible tragedy occurred: the Titanic, a British liner reputed to be unsinkable, sank off Newfoundland, near Canada, after hitting an iceberg. The tragedy claimed the lives of around 1,500 passengers. It's hard not to be familiar with this story, which has taken the world by storm, especially in the wake of James Cameron's celebrated 1997 film.

Are you fascinated by the story of the Titanic? Then don't miss this XXL exhibition at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, from July 18 to October 1, 2023.

The exhibition may seem familiar to you: in 2013, 10 years ago, the same program was already presented at Porte de Versailles. In an immersive, educational tour featuring over 260 objects, you'll discover the stories of over 200 passengers, relics and authentic objects recovered after the shipwreck, as well as a life-size replica of the liner's grand staircase.

Some of the exhibition rooms also detail the scientific operations and salvage campaigns that enabled all these precious objects to be found and preserved. Overall, the exhibition presents a well-balanced mix of immersive scenography, relics recovered during the various expeditions, touching stories from passengers, with some interactive stages including photoshoot and the chance to "touch" an iceberg.

From the conception of the ship to the exploration of the wreck, including life on board and the sinking, we relive thehistory of the Titanic. We also explore the various spaces, from the famous grand staircase to the boiler room and its watertight compartments.
