The Milwaukee Public Museum hosts Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition from Oct. 10 to May 25, 2009. Hundreds of authentic artifacts and room recreations tell the story of the 2,228 passengers aboard the Titanic during her ill-fated maiden voyage. Visitors will learn the haunting tales of the lives abruptly ended or forever altered when the ship collided with an iceberg on April 14, 1912.
Permanent highlights of the acclaimed science and natural history museum include the Streets of Old Milwaukee, European Village, a Costa Rican rainforest, Native American artifacts and the world’s largest dinosaur skull. Other favorites are the planetarium, IMAX theater and free-flying butterflies in the tropical garden of the Puelicher Butterfly Wing.
