Grab your boarding pass and embark on a journey through Melbourne Museum’s latest exhibition, Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition. With over 200 artefacts recovered from the shipwreck site, this exhibition takes you through the lives of the people that worked and travelled on board the legendary ship.
Mamma loves the way that each person is given a name of a passenger to explore along the exhibition and learn more about. little Miss 9 got, Miss Hilda Mary Slater who was only 30 years old and was travelling alone when she boarded the Titanic. This made the exhibition engaging and informative as well as provides a more personal aspect to the experience.
Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition also takes you through a recollection of the horribles events of the evening of April 14th 1912, mapping out time through the eyes of the people who were onboard. Little Miss 9 was full of questions as she learnt about individual heartaches and wondered in amazement at the artefacts that were discovered to tell the story. The giant ice-block gave Mamma and little Miss 9 an idea of how cold it may have been for the people died that night in the waters.
Treat yourself a little high tea with the pop-up High Tea Lounge featuring some imagined french classics using locally sourced ingredients. Maybe the Tarte au citron with fresh raspberries is your thing.
