Titanic exhibit lands at COSI

• The exhibit also includes a complete set of whistles recovered from the ship's smoke stacks.

What to expect: Prepare for an immersive experience, COSI spokesperson Kristy Williams says.

• She highlights a reproduction of the ship's grand staircase and an ice wall that lets people experience exactly how frigid the water was the night of the wreck.
• "It's so surreal because you think about what you would do in that situation and how you would feel," she says.

Flashback: This is the third time the Titanic exhibition has returned to COSI.

• The 2005 local debut drew a record breaking 226,000 visitors during its six-month run, prompting an encore exhibition in 2010, per the Dispatch.

If you go: The exhibit opens Saturday and runs through Sept. 2.

• Time ticket bundles are $45 for adults and $40 for youths, which get you into the museum and the Titanic exhibit.
• COSI members can reserve exhibition tickets for $10 each.
