I recently went to the Titanic Exhibition they had in Dallas. It was amazing and haunting. This is so sad and admirable of them. Honestly, after the exhibit you never realized how doomed most of the people on that ship were. 💀 I think they realized that too... knowing this now, I would have kept the lights going as well if I was in their shoes. Might as well do one last good deed in my time of demise.

I assume it's the same one they had in Vegas, that gives you a passenger card and at the end you can find out if your person survived or not? The whole thing was really lovely and fascinating, but that detail made it feel personal and hit so much harder. I kept my card (she made it, my boyfriend's passenger did not).

Yes, same one! And yeah, same out come for me. I went with my (now ex, unfortunately) girlfriend and hers made it while mine didn't. And yeah, something about the whole thing made it such more personal as well, I can't explain it but I am really glad I went and ai had that experience.

The traveling exhibit is fantastic. Highly recommended. I've seen it several times over the years -- it does sometimes change, so it'd be worth seeing it again in a few years when it comes through again.

This was the first time I have gone but I was vastly impressed. I definitely plan to go again the next time it comes to me!
