The 1912 sinking of the Titanic was a disaster that fascinates generations to this day. It was an enchanting ship, said to be the height of engineering in its time, with upper-deck cabins filled with well-heeled notables and lower decks with emigrating workers and families – all laid to rest at the bottom of the Atlantic.

A new traveling multimedia experience brings the Titanic back to life at Atlanta’s Exhibition Hub Art Center in Doraville. “Titanic: An Immersive Voyage” recreates the grand rooms and corridors of the ship, presents real and rare artifacts, and takes us on 3D journeys through iceberg encounters and the sunken wreckage.
