Liverpool Maritime Museum seeks Titanic stories for gallery refresh
The Merseyside Maritime Museum is redeveloping its permanent Titanic gallery and is calling on Liverpool residents to share family stories and connections to the RMS Titanic. The exhibition 'Titanic and Liverpool: The Untold Story' opened in 2012 for the centenary of the sinking and became permanent due to popularity. Now, during a museum closure for refurbishment, curators are revitalizing displays to uncover more local narratives. Curator Rebecca Smith noted that while Titanic is globally known, its deep ties to Liverpool—the ship's port of registry—are less recognized. The museum seeks personal artifacts and memories from the community.
