This exhibition is the highest attended in history, viewed by twenty million people across the world. And it is easy to see why! Located inside the Luxor, this exhibit covers a whopping 25,000 square feet, packed full of information, relics, and pure emotion.
I don't know who could possibly experience this and not feel moved. My chest felt tight the instant I entered, my eyes focusing on an unopened bottle of champagne, luggage, and a pair of spectacles. To add to the realism, every one is handed a card upon entry, with an individual's name, social status, and some personal information. At the end of the exhibit, you may search the board to discover whether the passenger on your card survived. You can't get any more surreal than that.
You may explore portions of the recreated vessel, peering into her first and third class cabins. Able to immerse yourself in the surroundings, it is uncannily simple to imagine what things must have been like on that fateful evening.
I believe that this exhibit hosts two crowning glories. The first would be the painstakingly re-created Grand Staircase, and the second a giant piece of the actual Titanic hull.
Standing before this is eerie, to say the least. Many people have reported even more. Visitors have noted that they often feel as if they are being followed, even when no one is behind them. Some have even reported seeing a woman in period dress, assuming she is a worker, only to find out that she has suddenly vanished. The exhibition has often been linked to paranormal occurrences in many of its locations, but it seems that its current home in the Luxor is attracting even more activity than usual. All guests experiencing phenomena have reported that they have never felt threatened by these encounters, but typically sense a feeling of curiosity, which, under the circumstances, makes perfect sense.
