Artifacts
Did you know that there are nearly 200 artifacts to view at the Titanic exhibition? All of these have been recovered from the actual wreck site of the Titanic by the RMS Titanic, Inc. The RMS Titanic, Inc is affiliated with this company, and it has conducted eight research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic. These historic items and artifacts have been carefully conserved and are continuously monitored and maintained. Although there are 200 artifacts from the Titanic on display in Orlando, the RMS has recovered over 5,500 artifacts from the site. Please note that in order to preserve and protect the artifacts, flash photography is not allowed in the Titanic exhibition.

You can even take pictures on a near identical recreation of the famous Titanic staircase. This experience is great to walk around and just take in the importance of the amazing artifacts. You can also try one of the tours and learn the many interesting facts about the “Ship of Dreams”. I highly recommend coming here to spend an afternoon. I guarantee you will walk away with brand new knowledge of this incredible ship.
