Est. 1912 · Titanic Artifact Recovery · Maritime Disaster History · International Drive Tourism Landmark
The Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at 7324 International Drive is one of the largest permanent collections of genuine Titanic artifacts available to the public. RMS Titanic, Inc. — the company holding exclusive salvor-in-possession rights to the wreck site — has recovered nearly 200 of the exhibition's artifacts directly from the debris field. The centerpiece is a 2-ton section of the hull known as 'Little Piece,' the second-largest artifact ever recovered from the site.
The Orlando exhibition operates from a purpose-designed space between SeaWorld and Universal Studios on International Drive. It reopened at this location in January 2012 after a period of renovation and relocation. Full-scale recreations include the Grand Staircase, a First Class Suite, and a section of the Promenade Deck. A chilled room replicates the near-freezing temperature of the North Atlantic water.
The exhibition offers daily guided tours with artifact specialists at set times, self-guided entry, a Friday-Saturday Titanic Dinner Gala, and a VR experience. It operates daily from 10am to 8pm with last admission at 7pm. Contact: (407) 248-1166.

The Titanic exhibition has a documented record of staff-reported incidents distinct from the theatrical paranormal programming the venue offers seasonally. General Manager Kerri Drake stated publicly in 2012 that she had experienced encounters at the facility with no rational explanation, while describing herself as a skeptic.
Specific reported incidents include: surveillance footage appearing to show a framed photograph shaking and then relocating itself against a wall during off-hours; a staff member named Brittany capturing what she described as orb photographic evidence while handling artifacts; unusual activity in the telegraph room following the arrival of a recovered artifact; and a sighting of a male figure in a period officer's uniform with no legs, reported near a window of the ship recreation.
In 2012 the exhibition hosted a paranormal investigation organization that claimed to find 'conclusive evidence' of paranormal activity. The same year, the venue began offering ghost tours every Thursday at 7pm led by actors portraying Titanic passengers. Seasonal programming under the name 'Tales From Titanic' ran Halloween ghost tours and a dinner show. These programs have run at varying intervals since the 2012 launch.
Notable Entities
Daily guided tours walk visitors through full-scale recreations of the Grand Staircase, First Class Suite, and Promenade Deck alongside more than 300 genuine artifacts recovered from the wreck site. Costumed actors portray Titanic passengers. A chilled iceberg replica replicates Atlantic water temperatures.
Visitors explore the exhibition independently, including recovered personal effects, the 2-ton 'Little Piece' hull section, and the Black Glass Necklace. Open daily 10am–8pm (last admission 7pm).

Charleston, SC
Magnolia Plantation was established in 1676 by Thomas and Ann Drayton, English settlers from Barbados, and remains under the control of the Drayton family after fifteen generations. The plantation's wealth derived from Carolina Gold rice cultivated by enslaved Africans. Magnolia opened its gardens to the public in 1871, making it one of the oldest public gardens in the United States.

Winston-Salem, NC
The Salem Tavern was built in 1784 to serve travelers stopping in the Moravian settlement at Salem, North Carolina. The Moravian congregation built and operated the tavern — a common enterprise in Moravian settlements — as a source of revenue and a place of hospitality for outsiders. President George Washington lodged here in May 1791 during his Southern Tour, an event documented in his own diary.
Maitland, FL
Artist-architect J. André Smith founded this Mayan Revival compound in Maitland in 1937 as an experimental colony for working artists. Funded by Philadelphia philanthropist Mary Curtis Bok, it hosted artists including Ralston Crawford and Milton Avery. Smith designed every structure on the property and lived and worked here until his death in 1959. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a National Historic Landmark in August 2014 — the only one in the four-county greater Orlando area.
