Titanic artifacts sailing into city this February
A show of haunting remnants from the Titanic -- from china dishes to a chandelier and a porthole -- is coming to Winnipeg in February.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open Feb. 12 at the MTS Centre Exhibition Hall, the former A & B Sound building where Bodies . . . The Exhibition is currently showing.

Tickets, priced at $15.95 to $23.95, go on sale Friday at Ticketmaster.
The Titanic exhibition tells the story of the 1912 shipwreck through 190 artifacts, nine of which have never been exhibited before. First-class and third-class cabins are recreated.
Each visitor receives a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger, then experiences the Titanic story chronologically, from the ship's construction to life on board, the sinking, and the recovery of artifacts.
RMS Titanic Inc. recently completed its eighth underwater mission to the wreck site. The Winnipeg venue will be the first in North America to show video and images from that mission.
Part of the show will explain how the shipwreck affected Manitoba. Finally, visitors will take their boarding pass to a memorial wall to learn whether their passenger survived or perished.
The Manitoba Museum will present a concurrent exhibition about the 13 Manitobans who sailed on the Titanic.
