Your Travel Itinerary:
1st Port of Call
TheaterWorks, located
at 233 Pearl Street, celebrates the arrival
of the Titanic Exhibition at
the XL Center with Titanic and
Two Rivals, a free exhibition
of Hartford artist Peter Sparre's meticulously
researched and detailed illustrations of the
R.M.S. Titanic (1912), R.M.S. Mauretania (1907),
and R.M.S. Atlantis (a fully-realized rendering
of a 1916 steamship of Mr. Sparre's own creation).
An expert naval draftsman and a founding ArtWorks
Gallery member, Sparre's collection of seventeen
images is beautifully presented amidst the
splendor of 233 Pearl Street's main lobby,
and celebrates the era of the mighty steamship
luxury liners.
.
The 233 Pearl Street lobby will be open Monday
through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for viewings
of Titanic and Two Rivals.
2nd Port of Call
The XL Center welcomes seasoned sailors and
land-lubbers of all ages to The Titanic
Exhibition.
The exhibition has been designed with a focus
on the legendary R.M.S. Titanic's compelling
human stories told through nearly 300 authentic
artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Visitors
are quickly drawn back in time to 1912, as each
receives a replica boarding pass of an actual
passenger upon entrance. The exhibition then
takes guests on a chronological journey through
life on the Titanic. Attendees will marvel at
authentically recreated first and third class
cabins, view the ship's boiler room, feel the
temperature drop as they press their palms against
the iceberg, and learn of the passengers and
their countless stories of heroism and humanity.
One of the many galleries
is dedicated to Connecticut connections where
visitors discover the State’s
reaction and ties to the events. In the “Memorial
Gallery” guests will take their boarding
pass to the memorial wall and learn if their
passenger and traveling companions survived or
perished.
The Titanic
Exhibition at the XL Center
is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The exhibition runs through September 21, 2008
with tickets costing Adult $22, Child $18,
Senior
$20 with an audio tour option for an additional
$7. Please note admission prices do not include
a $1 Facility Fee per ticket. Reservations are
