Located at the Paintworks Event Space until February 25, the Titanic Exhibition offers an incredible insight into life aboard the Titanic.
The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first half explores the making of the Titanic, its short voyage and aftermath and the second section looks into the expeditions to the wreck site.
Visitors will be able to see items and read stories about first, second and third class passengers from both ships, as well as discover items such as silverware and chinaware, a photographic collection from on-board passenger and survivor, Father Browne, plus many more of the Titanic’s interior and exterior artefacts that have been recovered from the wreckage site.
Some of the costumes and props from the 1997 film Titanic also form part of the display.
The exhibition also has a section on the Bristolian passengers aboard the Titanic and what happened to them after the vessel sank.
The exhibition is open from 10am to 7pm on weekends and half term, and from 10am to 5pm otherwise, in 1 hour bookable slots. Tickets are free for 0 to 5-year-olds, £7 and £13 on weekdays for 6 to 14-year-olds and ages 15 and over, and £9 and £15 on weekends for 6 to 14-year-olds and ages 15 and over and can be booked here.

3. Behind the Coloured Images
The exhibition teamed up with artist and researcher Roman Potapov to add colour to the small collection of original black and white photos of the Titanic. The photos were captured by the press while the Titanic was docked in Southampton, and a handful more were taken by two passengers named Francis Browne and Kate Odell.
4. The Adriatic
Launched in 1906, the Adriatic was a precursor to the Titanic and was celebrated as the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship of its time and was the first ocean liner to have an indoor swimming pool and a Turkish bath.
