In Reply to: Is exhibit really worth price of admission? posted by Scott Grimes on October 29, 1999 at 14:41:14:
: Since I will be in the Toronto area next week I am thinking of taking a trip over to the RMST exhibit now on display there. Is it really worth the $13.95 ($19.95 CDN) it costs to get in. Talk about taking advantage of history and people's misfortune not to mention your wallet. Having said this I will most likely be going since it will be a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity... until the next show comes along I suppose. I'd like to hear some more comments or reviews from those who have seen it.
: Thanks

I haven't been able to get to one of these exhibits personally yet, but I'm sure it's worth the price of admission. Between the commentary of those who have already gone to those in other cities and those who have seen some of the same artifacts displayed at the NMM, Greenwich, it's a truly moving experience just being amongst the artifacts. Besides, it's not like you can wait until someone else's display of salvaged Titanic artifacts comes along - RMST is the only game in town! By the way, having some knowledge of the costs involved in mounting large travelling exhibits, $13.95 is really not that bad. You'd be surprised at how much of that went to things like insurance and transportation, not to suggest that RMST isn't making a decent profit as well.
