Titanic will rise again at KC’s Union Station, this time as an immersive exhibit
The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage more than 100 years ago, but the luxury liner will come alive at Union Station in the fall.
“Titanic: An Immersive Voyage” will open Nov. 8 at the Kansas City landmark, marking the third major Titanic exhibition there in 25 years. Unlike the previous two in 2001 and 2012, which focused on artifacts recovered from the ship’s final resting place on the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, this exhibition will use technology to transport visitors into the doomed ship.
Guests will board the Titanic through a recreation of the Southampton, England, dock, then move through a series of rooms where they will meet fellow passengers and experience the events that led to the sinking, all while viewing an array of artifacts.
The exhibition also will delve into other elements of the tragedy, including sister ships Olympic and Britannic, the rescue ship Carpathia and the deadly iceberg itself. With an additional ticket, visitors will be able to use virtual reality technology to visit the Titanic wreck site.
Union Station’s current exhibition, “The Science of Guinness World Records,” runs through Sept. 2.
