Experience Titanic

Ladies and gentlemen, once more give a warm RouseWorld welcome to Steve Popson of the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences:

Raleigh, NC – If you haven’t had made a point to see, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit, during the eight month run at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh, the time is now. With the closing date of April 18th only a couple of weeks away, this fabulous exhibit, which offers artifacts, gathered from Titanic’s debris field on the ocean floor, is not to be missed. While more than 200,000 people have already been through the exhibit, museum officials know there are thousands more who have waited, hoping for just the right time. According to Jeff Williford, N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences Marketing Director, that very reason is the inspiration for two very special days of expanded hours.

“On April 16th and 17th, we plan on keeping the exhibit open past midnight in order to give everyone a chance to experience Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit. While the attraction has been overwhelmingly popular, we also understand human nature and realize that many people will wait until the very last moment. Expanded hours seemed the way to go to accommodate the eleventh hour visitor.” In addition, a special book signing is planned featuring Lee W. Meredith, author of the best selling “1912 Facts About Titanic”. “The idea is to make the remaining days of this exhibit as memorable as the first”, adds Williford.

For those that still want to experience the phenomenon, museum officials say the best time to go is weekdays between the hours of 1 and 4. For the “total” Titanic experience consider taking advantage of the audio tour which is an additional cost but has received rave reviews from guests.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit will continue at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences through April 18, 2004 in downtown Raleigh. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the Museum.
