Returning To Where It All Began

Our collection makes a new journey to a familiar place in January 2026, as we open our ‘Titanic In Focus: White Star Line Hotel’ exhibition. From 8th January, our artefacts will be on display in the original offices of the White Star Line in Liverpool, now a hotel.

For 2 months, visitors will be able to enjoy this intimate collection, showcasing the most impressive amongst our artefacts. Among the highlights are the largest surviving section of the Aft Grand Staircase, an intact deck chair recovered from the North Atlantic, and a remarkable collection of letters, personal items, and documents revealing the human stories behind the legend.

What’s more, they will set foot inside the building where the Titanic and its sister ships were first imagined. ‘Albion House’, as it is formally known, was constructed in the late 1890s for the Ismay, Imrie and Company shipping company, later known as White Star Line. It’s striking white Portland stone and red brick facade has made it an iconic part of the Liverpool skyline. While it suffered bomb damage and neglect after it was vacated in 1934, its time as a hotel has brought it a new lease of life.

If you’d like to take this unique opportunity to explore the Titanic’s history, you can book tickets for the exhibition at https://www.titanicliverpool.com/

You can even stay at the hotel for a full historic experience – https://whitestarlinehotel.co.uk/

Titanic Exhibition: Torquay Museum is now open!

After months of planning and preparation, the Titanic exhibition at Torquay Museum was officially opened on Saturday 10th June, with a huge event to raise funds and support the museum. Many of the artefacts going on display have never been seen in public and help to tell the story of the Titanic in exciting and vivid new ways. The exhibition will include personal items from passengers, objects used to design and build the ship, and a number of artefacts recovered from around the shipwreck, almost two and a half miles below the surface of the North Atlantic. 

White Star Heritage Head Curator Tom Rudderham opened the exhibition by welcoming guests and providing personal guided tours.

It’s an honour to welcome members of the public to the Titanic Exhibition at Torquay Museum. The Titanic has left a lasting impression on not just the maritime industry, but on wider culture itself. Millions of people today are still touched by the stories of passengers and crew, are fascinated by the ship itself, and the subsequent disaster. It has been a pleasure to work with Torquay Museum to bring these stories to life with a number of artefacts from passengers and crew, and the wreck site surrounding the ship today.

Items on display at the museum include a first class deck chair, a life vest from the 1997 movie, artefacts brought up from the wreck site, and a number of personal possessions owned by crew and passengers. A free audio guide with transcript is also available for visitors to enjoy on their smartphones, revealing detailed information and stories behind the objects on display.

The exhibition is open until September 3rd, 2022, and requires a ticket to gain entry. Those who wish to visit can head over to the Torquay Museum website to plan and book their ticket.
