Summary[edit]

Description

This photo is from the store for the permanent Titanic Exhibition at Luxor, and this also is the only area where photographs are allowed.

These are replica dishes that would've been used for the Second Class passengers on Titanic and other White Star Line ships of the era, using Delft Blue motifs. In the background are replicas of blankets that would've been provided as Third Class bedding.

The rest of the exhibition, staged by RMS Titanic Inc. and previously featured in traveling exhibitions across the US until coming to Luxor in 2008, consists of artifacts recovered from the wreck (including a large hull section!), personal items, replicas of First and Third Class staterooms and the Grand Staircase, and an iceberg that gives visitors an idea of how cold the North Atlantic water was at the time of the ship's sinking. At $35 per person for admissions, it was way overpriced in my opinion, but having gotten a half-price ticket at a discount booth earlier in the day and considering that it was the week of the 100th anniversary of the sinking, it made sense for me to check the exhibit out.
