Titanic Museum

Last weekend I was in the capital city of Poland – Warsaw. I spent there the whole weekend sightseeing and relaxing before final exams. I do really like this city and I plan to go there to university so I enjoy this time very much. One of the places that I visited was the Titanic exhibition in the Palace of Culture and Science. This was a part-time exhibition, which had been only available in the USA and not a long time ago it has started to emerge in Europe. I do really like museums and historical exhibitions like this, because I believe that people are able to get a lot of knowledge out of these events. It was said that the man who does not know the history is doomed to repeat it. I am certain that it is true.Titanic used to be the greatest, swimming hotel in the world. The first cruise was April 10^th 1912 and the catastrophe has occurred 4 days later when the ship has crushed into the iceberg and drowned together with 1495 passengers and staff. I was surprised that about half of them managed to be saved. After watching the movie I thought that this event had way bigger scale and it only some individuals survived. During this exhibition I was able to see the real equipment that was on the Titanic and some objects that belonged to the passengers e.g. their letters, postcards, rings etc. I do really enjoy things like this and I really like sightseeing, because I can personate as somebody from those times and feel like part of “that world”. Also possibility of seeing the objects works better for imagination. I think that time spent in the museums is an option for creative relax and productive free time.
