Titanic Exhibit?

[matt t.]

We finally made it to see the IMAX film "Ghost's of the Abyss" and the Titanic exhibit at The Milwaukee Public Library today. I thought the documentary movie was a good addition, but the additional $8 cost for the movie and the $24 exhibit admission made for an expensive afternoon for the 3 of us. I believe the documentary, shot in 2001 by James cameron has been on as a cable t.v. special before as it seemed familiar, but it helped to get you in mindset to take in the exhibit and all of it's elements. In the exhibit there were many personal artifacts as well a a good number of artifacts from the ship itself. They even had a "live" iceberg to touch if so inclined. There were many personal stories related by survivors about their experiences during the cruise and subsequent sinking. On one wall lists were posted as to who survived and who went down with the ship. I wouldn't say that it's a "must see", but if you're bored some winter weekend it may be worth it to you. YMMV.
