titanic: the artefact exhibition

Posted by KB on March 3, 2010 1 comments

Yesterday the Melbourne Museum enlisted the help of music mogul Michael Gudinski (pictured) to launch their new exhibition. One of the largest of its kind, Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition will display more than 280 items that went down with the ship. Chamber pots, a pocket watch, playing cards, coins and a decorative bronze cherub, were all salvaged from the from ill-fated luxury ocean liner's resting place 4000 metres beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

You can catch these sub aqueous treasures from 14 May – 17 October at the Melbourne Museum.

A little off topic perhaps, but a request for people to consider the ethics of buying things like designer clothes. Please try and consider, for example, the materials your item is made from, the human rights of the factories where they're manufactured and the green credentials of retailers. Oh, and try to share instead of throwing away. Thanks!!!!
