MAJOR INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION - TITANIC - COMES TO VANCOUVER OPENING JUNE
23rd 

 

April 15, 2018: Vancouver - On April 15th, 1912, Titanic, the world's
largest ship, sank after colliding with an iceberg. This summer, 106 years
later, Lipont Place is pleased to announce that major international
exhibition - Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition - is coming to Metro
Vancouver. As an important stop on its international tour, Titanic: The
Artifact Exhibition has already visited cities such as Paris, Las Vegas,
Dublin, Stockholm, London, Cape Town, Guangzhou, Orlando, Melbourne, and
others.

 

"At Lipont Place, Titanic will find a natural home allowing both our venue
and the Exhibition to make its debut to Metro Vancouver," says Toni McAfee,
executive director, Lipont Centre. "We look forward to welcoming all
visitors, local and international, to our magnificent space and this
world-class exhibition."

 

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open June 23, 2018 and run through
January 11, 2019. The exhibition is been designed with a focus on the
legendary RMS Titanic's compelling human stories, best told through more
than 120 authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Visitors are
quickly drawn back in time to 1912, receiving a replica boarding pass of an
actual passenger aboard Titanic. They begin their chronological voyage
through Titanic, moving through the ship's construction, to life on board,
to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts. They will
marvel at the re-created accommodations, and press their palms against an
iceberg while learning of countless stories of the maiden voyage.

 

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is produced by Premier Exhibitions, Inc.
(OTCQB: PRXI), an Atlanta-based company with headquarters in Vancouver. The
Company is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Titanic, its wreck site
and all her passengers and crew through educational, historical, scientific
and conservation based programs and exhibitions. 

 

"Titanic is one of the most legendary tales of our time and we are thrilled
to bring this remarkable exhibition to our hometown in Vancouver," says
Daoping Bao,  Executive Chairman, President and CEO Premier Exhibitions.
"Educational, emotional and appropriate for all ages, Titanic: The Artifact
Exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the life of Titanic. Along
the way visitors will learn countless stories of heroism and humanity that
pay honor to the indomitable force of the human spirit in the face of
tragedy."
