A Titanic experience

On Wednesday, I heard about a Titanic exhibition in the city. The Titanic sank 100 years ago this month, so there are banners EVERYWHERE advertising this exhibit and seeing the movie in 3-D.


Various views of the high rises around the harbourfront






































































Singapore has many of these ground fountains, which is definitely someone's brain genius on HOTT days like this one was!










It was in the Art Science Museum, which is the white, flowery building on the right.









It was also co-hosting an Andy Warhol exhibition. (I didn't go to it.)










:)















It was a very accurate tour. There were music and relevant sound effects as we encountered each set up and looked at certain artifacts, and the temperature in the iceberg room was almost as accurate as the night that the Titanic sank.














At the beginning of our tour, we were each given a passport. This front side is a replica of what the passengers' boarding passes looked like. On the other side, there was information about a real passenger from the Titanic. At the end of the tour, we could find out if our passenger survived or not.













This was my character's name and information.

































A first-class hallway















Here's a partial set up for a first-class suite, which cost about $100,000 in today's conversion. Insane!











This was a set up for the first-class dining area.

(I didn't get any pics of the third-class set ups because the lighting in their areas was too dark and my pics didn't turn out well.)









This was a section of a wall of all the passengers' names. They were divided by class and then by survivors/deceased.

My second-class character, Mrs. John Henry Chapman and her husband, died. :(
