Following highly successful runs in Birmingham, Glasgow, Newport, Leeds and Manchester - attracting more than 140,000 visitors since launching in 2024 - the UK’s largest Titanic Exhibition will make its London debut at Olympia in July 2026.
The announcement comes as the historic destination prepares to celebrate its landmark 140th anniversary and approaches the completion of its £1.3 billion transformation into a world-class cultural and entertainment district. Reinforcing its status as a leading venue for world-class exhibitions, Olympia’s historic event venues continue to expand its line-up of events under the strategic management of Legends Global, whose portfolio is globally recognised for delivering immersive and industry-defining experiences.
Joe Levy, Exhibition Manager, The Titanic Exhibition said:
"We're delighted to be bringing our exhibition to Olympia in 2026. The Titanic holds such an important place in the history of innovation, showcasing the marvels of design and technology in the Industrial Revolution. This ties in beautifully with Olympia's grand legacy and allows us to tell a really powerful but familiar story from our history."
Anticipated to draw over 50,000 visitors across the three-week event, the Titanic Exhibition will trace the story of the RMS Titanic from its design and construction in Belfast, through to its tragic sinking and the legacy it left behind. Visitors will get to see genuine Titanic artefacts, set amongst vivid immersive displays and brought to life with storytelling and the real words of passengers and crew. On display will be rare items such as a Titanic deckchair, thrown overboard and used as a flotation device during the sinking, as well as what is believed to be the largest surviving fragment of the Aft Grand Staircase.
Alongside a variety of other Titanic artefacts, the collection holds an array of personal items held by passengers and crew aboard the ship, humanising the individual lives and stories behind the world’s most famous shipping tragedy.
Nick Graham, Director of Exhibitions at Olympia Events said:
“As a historic venue that has long played a part in London’s own rich cultural story, we’re delighted to host The Titanic Exhibition and provide a stage to share this iconic chapter of our world’s history. With genuine artefacts from the wreck and the deeply personal stories of those on board, this exhibition offers visitors from London and beyond a rare and powerful opportunity to experience the legend of Titanic first-hand.”
The exhibition will also look at the role London played in the Titanic’s story, connecting history with present day communities and the legacy they’ve inherited.
The Expert Pass will unlock a variety of bonus features for visitors, including an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the exploration of the Titanic’s wreck site, featuring a genuine Titanic expert.
The Titanic Exhibition London will run for three weeks from 25 July - 16 August at Olympia’s West Hall, Level 1.
