Birmingham NEC is hosting a new exhibition focusing on the story of the Titanic and its journey from the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast to its fateful voyage and sinking.

Featuring artifacts from the wreck and its passengers, this is an exhibit that takes visitors on an important journey of discovery about the unusual luxury liner.

The legacy of the Titanic remains for everyone, but there are plenty of stories here that you may not have heard as you read first-hand accounts, study the finds and learn all about the night the iceberg hit.
