‘TITANIC’ Sets Attendance Record
The RMS Titanic may have plunged to the ocean floor more than a century ago, but an exhibition at Carnegie Science Center proved it still captures the public’s imagination. TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition broke attendance records as the most visited of all the Science Center’s traveling exhibitions in the PPG Science Pavilion®. Nearly 140,000 people walked through the Titanic exhibition over its six-month run before it closed April 15, surpassing the previous record of around 90,000 visitors held by Mummies of the World: The Exhibition in 2019.
