ATLANTA, Oct. 30, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RMS Titanic, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRXI) announced today that Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open November 11th at The Eaton Centre located in the heart of downtown Montreal. Appearing for the first time in the historic city, this blockbuster exhibition includes a vast collection of more than 250 artifacts recovered from Titanic's debris field.
Taking visitors on a chronological journey through life on board the Ship, the Exhibition compassionately tells Titanic's personal stories through these recovered artifacts and dramatic room recreations. Each visitor will become a passenger and feel the excitement of that April day as they step into authentically recreated first and third class accommodations, view the ship's whistles, touch an iceberg and understand the theories of this tragic tale.
"Titanic's story has many ties to Montreal and we look forward to bringing the history of the ship and its passengers to The Eaton Centre," states Arnie Geller, President and CEO of Premier Exhibitions. "In addition, we are pleased to continue our partnership with Serge Grimaux who staged the very successful presentations of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and BODIES.The Exhibition this past year in Prague."
RMS Titanic, Inc. is the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck of the Titanic. The Company was granted Salvor-in-Possession rights to the wreck of Titanic by a United States federal court in 1994 and has conducted seven research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic rescuing more than 5,500 artifacts.
Premier Exhibitions, Inc. is a major provider of museum quality touring exhibitions throughout the world.
