From September 4, 2025, the immersive exhibition "The Legend of the Titanic" will open in the MAAG Light Hall in Zurich. With large-scale 360-degree projections and modern virtual reality technology, the history of the famous ship will be brought to life in an impressive way. Visitors move virtually across the faithfully recreated decks of the Titanic and can even explore the wreck on the seabed using VR goggles.
The MAAG light hall with its former industrial architecture, over 40 projectors and a powerful sound system provides the perfect location for this multimedia journey through time. Following the success of the Tutankhamun exhibition, Zurich is once again focusing on innovative forms of history communication with this new production.
The story of the RMS Titanic has fascinated mankind for over a century. No other ship has left such a deep mark on the collective memory as the supposedly "unsinkable" luxury liner, which sank in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912. Today, 113 years later, a completely new generation of exhibitions is bringing this legendary story to life - in a way that goes beyond our imagination.
The immersive exhibition takes visitors through the complete chronology of the Titanic story - from the initial planning in the Harland & Wolff shipyards in Belfast to the magnificent maiden voyage and the tragic collision with the iceberg. But instead of just looking at static exhibits, the guests themselves become actors in this historical drama.
Equipped with an authentic boarding pass, which corresponds to a real passenger on the Titanic, visitors embark on an emotional journey through time. This personal connection to the fates of the people on board makes the experience far more than just a visit to a museum - it becomes a moving encounter with history.
What sets this exhibition apart from traditional museums is the innovative use of the latest technologies. Spectacular 360-degree projections transform entire rooms into living history books. Visitors suddenly find themselves on board the Titanic, can stroll through the luxurious corridors of first class or experience the chaos of the night of the disaster at first hand.
The virtual reality component makes it possible to explore areas that would otherwise remain closed forever. Equipped with VR goggles, visitors can not only experience the magnificent rooms of the ship in their original splendor, but also take a virtual dive to the wreck - an experience previously reserved for only a few explorers.
