I LOVED the exhibit! I'm also a big Titanic nerd, I ended up acting as a sort of tour guide regarding survivors and other stories to other people at the exhibit. They'd hear me mention something to my dad and ask me more questions.
I also loved the gift shop. One of the artifacts on display is a souvenir-size toothpaste container and the card said that, due to the small size and the number that was recovered, they believe this was a complimentary toiletry item left in the rooms by the White Star Line. I mentioned to my dad how cool it would be to own one of those and that someone should recreate it to sell. When we got to the gift shop, they had it! So naturally, I had to get one.
I said the same thing when we saw the White Star Line blanket left on the steerage bunks, and they had those for sale, too! I am fully expecting a steerage blanket for Christmas. :)
Also, I snuck a couple photos when the museum staff wasn't looking. It's really a great exhibit and I absolutely loved it.
Oh, and if you use the code METRO (in addition to a few other discount codes out there), you get $4 off the admission price.
