The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences will host a special preview of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition for members of the media on Thursday, September 27, at 10:45 a.m. inside the Special Exhibits Gallery on the second floor of the main Museum.

On a remote Japanese island, a beautiful but deranged scientist is breeding insects to take over the world, which is all well and good until her “killer bees” bring down an American plane carrying an H-bomb!

Titanic, the ship of dreams, still fascinates readers, moviegoers and just about anyone who has heard the tragic tale, even a century after an iceberg sent the now-legendary ship to the bottom of the icy North Atlantic. Starting September 29, visitors to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences can follow that fateful voyage, take on the identity of a passenger, touch the iceberg and see more than 200 artifacts recovered from the broken ship’s debris field two-and-a-half miles beneath the surface.
