Absolute garbage. 90% of it is A.I. pictures and footage. The rest is stuff like "they had teacups back then. Here is a teacup that resembles the teacup that might have been on the ship." Literally just ask Grok or Claude or whatever to tell you what the Titanic was like. That's what the people who run this "exhibition" did. read more

I love love loveddd my early morning solo date here! This location was so perfect - with a parking garage next to the entrance, this place is great to get to and from with no problem. Stepping inside and getting your tickets digitally checked was easy, and the director gave you the option of using their provided headsets or using your own phone and downloading the audio. I myself, wanted to use my own headphones/device at first (covid tingz) - but quickly realized, the audio ran about an hour and a half, and I needed my battery this day. But yes - this exhibition was so fun. So informative. You really feel as if you are back on the boat when you see, AND FEEL the artifacts. Solo date, group, etc., this place is great to go to! read more

I attended Titanic: The Exhibition at National Harbor. The exhibit, though we had reserved our tickets, took about 15 minutes passed our timed entry. The hold up is probably the photo they take of you as you enter (in front of the famed staircase ((backdrop)) ). You receive an audio guide which explains the artifacts. The narration, though well-recorded, is loooooooooong. Each clip is over 30 seconds which creates a backlog of people as each visitor tries to stand in front of a display as it's narrated. I had to skip ahead a few clips so I could get out of the traffic jam. It's poignant to hear the stories as fate intervened in the form of a coal strike to take passengers off the Oceanic and onto the Titanic. Or to hear of the Macy founder and his wife, who rather than be separated, went down with the ship. The musicians who played on. Or to see the lists of entire families of the second class passengers who perished. The immense list of the crew who succumbed. Or that in the 32 degree water you could only survive 20-30 minutes and then go put your hand on the mini iceberg that they have set up that is 32 degrees. Overall an interesting take on a fascinating piece of history. The objects themselves are not spectacular, every day objects that give a face to the people of the tragedy. (The story of Rose and Jack was based on an actual couple? The necklace in question? Must look into this further.) read more

I'm a history buff, and the Titanic tragedy is something I've followed since the movie came out, shout out to Jack lol! I was excited to see this exhibition coming to DC and hopped on tickets right away. As you walk in you're greeted by an amazing scale model of the Jewel of the White Star line that does its best to capture the grandeur of the real thing. A host gives you a brief presentation that provides you with a fact-filled premise that then leads you to a fun photo-op and the rest of the self-guided exhibition itself. The experience takes you through the history of the Titanic from its inception, construction, and eventual destruction. You walk through several rooms filled with artifacts, photographs, ship recreations, and even movie props that truly do their job giving you the education of the tragic night. I enjoyed seeing real items from the boat and found walking through some of the recreated portions of the deck/hallways really fun. Parking is available at the garage across the street, hourly rate. Overall, a great and unique experience for the price. read more

My ticket was for 2:30 and I was able to get in around 2:45. There was a free digital photo you could take in the beginning. Then O was given a head set that you can listen to in English or Spanish. The customer service was really good. It's always great when you start the tour of experiencing pleasant people. The exhibit was really informative and I really enjoyed seeing the pictures, relics, and hearing the stories of some of the passengers on the ship. The ending with the wall of all those that passed away in the various canon groups and crew was really touching and eye opening. It took me 1.5 hours to tour it and it felt like it went by so quick. read more

Obviously first and foremost this was a somber experience. I found it to be educational and generally well done. I would describe it as an audio guided hour-long museum tour. A few things that could have been better would be if they spaced people out by about 2 minutes per group. It felt like there were a lot of people at the same spot all the time, to the point where we even skipped a stop to try to get out of the jam. Also, while I appreciated seeing some of the Olympia items, I would have preferred to just see items recovered from the Titanic only. I also kind of think a gift shop at the end is awkward. Overall I can't say I'd recommend it but also wouldn't discourage it. It was okay. read more

Location: Situated at the National Harbor, the Titanic Experience is within walking distance to a good amount of restaurants, bars, and shopping. So if you're early or have some time afterwards, you have a lot of options to pick from. If you're feeling lucky, go try your hand at MGM or spend some cash at the Tanger Outlets. Parking: St. George Garage is right next to the entrance. I believe it's roughly $5 an hour to park. Exhibit: Luckily enough there was not a line to get into the building so getting checked in and getting our equipment was pretty easy. They did provide head phones that go over your ears so we didn't need our Airpods even though the email said to bring your own. * This is an audio guided tour. There's a lot of information that I was not aware of so it was great learning some new things about the Titanic. Each photo that you go by is labeled so you should not get lost along the way and the audio guide is at a decent pace. * Displays: Like some other people said, there's a lot of stuff that's not from the actual Titanic, it's from it's sister ship, the Oceanic, so that was a disappointment to me. There's a lot of pictures that you look at when you go through the audio guide, which you can probably find online, so that was ok. They made models of what the 3rd class rooms, dining halls, 1st class hallways and 2nd class room looked like which was pretty neat to see. Gift shop: It was mainly stuff from White Star Lines. Nothing too special. Overall: I don't think that I would go back nor would I recommend someone spend their money on this unless they're really excited about the Titanic. read more

Titanic The Exhibition - Museums Near Me - Oxon Hill, Maryland

There's a lot to unpack here, overall, its a very interesting exhibit to walk through. It invokes a rush of emotions. The story is told through a pair of headphones and is audio guided while you shuffle from room to room of reproduced blown up photographs, recovered artifacts, and others that are reproduced. The downside is the exhibit is cramped, which takes away from the overall experience. The rooms are large enough to hold five people but when I went through, there were at least twenty. Strollers are allowed, but its very difficult to walk through with a stroller and the amount of people expected to be in attendance. Further, some of the exhibits aren't numbered sequentially, in one room youre looking for x number but the next number is on the other side. With the throngs of people you have to stand on the tips of your toes just to see the other piece. Some highlights were the first class rooms, the recovered doorway, and the models of the titanic. I imagine this would be less crowded during the week and if you would like to avoid the crowd then I'd recommend visiting then. read more

Incredible!!!!!!! So many little artifacts to see. Very interesting to read the stories of some of those who were aboard the ship.

Such a wonderfully put together exhibit of the story of the Titanic and her passengers and crew. Artifacts from the ship as well as personal items are laid out beautifully. There is a free audio tour, we were given headsets to listen as we walked thru the exhibit and the virtual tour guide explained each part of the tour. It wasn't over crowded as they sell timed tickets and won't let you in early to control the crowd. The tour was about an hour and a half with a gift shop at the end. Highly recommend if you are even remotely interested in history. Parking across the street at the St George's parking garage with very reasonable rates. read more

Pretty disappointing. We waited outside in the cold for 18 minutes past our ticket entry time because exhibit staff failed to confirm that VIP ticket holders were, in fact, VIPs. We overheard multiple people say they were going to get into the empty VIP line to get indoors from the cold first and it worked - they were able to cut ahead of the whole line. If you are expecting this exhibit to be the same quality as the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor in Las Vegas, you will be greatly disappointed. The exhibit had a lot of empty space just filled with pictures that one could easily view with a simple Google search. The "200+ objects" displayed consisted mostly of White Star Line items from that time period rather than from the Titanic itself and personal items that were obviously collected or donated from survivors and not salvaged from the ship. The only item I recall seeing from the Titanic itself was a large chunk of coal recovered from the boiler room. Don't be fooled by the multiple items that appear to have come from the Titanic, for if you read the small description plaques, you will see that they actually came from the Olympic (Titanic's sister ship). Lastly, most everything in the tiny gift shop is modern White Star Line items. There were a couple of interesting things to see like the 3D cross-section model, the walk-through recreation of the ship's interior, the replica of a third-class room and the radio room, and the sensory ice wall. Is the exhibit worth the price of the ticket? Having had the opportunity to go to the Titanic Exhibit in Las Vegas, I'd say absolutely not... not by a long shot. If you have some extra money to spend and don't plan on going to Las Vegas any time soon, then, maybe.... but probably not. read more

Nice historical lesson. It's sobering to hear the stories and see the belongings of so many people that did not survive the Titanic. The recorded audio does a good job of walking you through and helping you visual what transpired. We would have probably gone through it quicker and missed some of details without the audio, so it's a good feature. Some of the exhibits were numbered oddly so it felt like we may have accidentally skipped a couple. Staff was chill. Went on a Tuesday evening so there was no line. Cool that it's place near the Harbor which is pretty during the holidays.Did dinner after nearby. read more

Well we went on Monday and it wasn't at all crowed, even so we left disappointed. Not a lot of things from the Titanic, and some of the exhibits looked like they were made by an elementary school student. The voiceover was a bit overdone. Got the feeling that whoever put it together did it for the money, and not for the love of Titanic's historical importance. read more

Trash. No air circulation and absolutely cheesy. They shouldn't be allowed to sell tickets to this.

Really overrated and overstated. Very few artifacts; lots of blown up black and white photos over light boxes and well researched anecdotes. You or I could make this exhibit ourselves and then profit off the brand of the Titanic, if we had less integrity too. read more

Disappointing. A walk thru of mostly enlarged photos and items from the Titanic's sister ship the Olympic and other White Star items - NOT from the Titanic. Only two items displayed that were actually recovered from the Titanic (a lump of coal and small piece of the Grand Staircase) so don't expect much. NOTE: The reviews you read about this exhibit are not all for the same event/location. There are multiple Titanic exhibits and not all have the same items. read more
