Prioritizing Emotions Over Entertainment: A Deeper Dive
The Titanic exhibit at Volo Museum stands apart by focusing on an emotional journey rather than entertainment. Limited guests are admitted each hour, and the space is maintained as a quiet zone, allowing visitors to fully absorb the stories without feeling crowded or rushed.
Echoes from the Deep: The Only Car Aboard Titanic
Only two Renault Type CB 6-Fender Coupé De Villes were ever made — one rests at the bottom of the ocean, while the other has been meticulously restored and now resides in Volo’s Titanic exhibit, recreated to the exact specifications of the car that sailed on Titanic’s maiden voyage.
Sloping Decks Experience
Step onto three sloping decks designed to match the exact angles of Titanic’s decks as the ship descended into the icy Atlantic. This immersive experience lets visitors feel the ship’s tragic final moments in a powerful and unforgettable way.
Titanic Theater: Stories of the Passengers
Take a seat in the Titanic Theater and watch a moving film presentation that follows the passengers’ journeys — from boarding the ship, to the fateful sinking, to the burials and the unidentified who remain at rest.
