Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

Las Vegas


This intriguing exhibition displays more than 250 genuine artifacts salvaged from the RMS Titanic – the luxury passenger liner that sank in the chilly Atlantic in 1912. The star attraction is a 15-ton slab of metal once affixed to the ship's starboard hull. Other notable objects include a stunning blue sapphire ring and a champagne bottle plucked from the wreckage.
