Titanic - Artifacts from The Titanic

We are pleased to join the Mount Vernon Music and Arts Festival to present the TITANIC COLLECTION, an extensive exhibit showcasing the grandeur and historical significance of Titanic. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of artifacts and historical pieces, many of which have not been previously displayed. Highlights include authentic items recovered from the Titanic wreckage site, original props from the Titanic movie generously donated by Leonardo DiCaprio, and actual photographs of the iceberg involved in the tragedy.

For the first time, during the Mount Vernon Music and Arts Festival, this comprehensive collection will be on display in Mount Vernon.

Mike Barr, a renowned Titanic expert and authority on Ohio’s connection to the Titanic, will be available throughout the exhibition to answer questions and provide insights.

The collection features numerous period-specific artifacts, including a pair of baby shoes worn by Richard Becker, a young survivor from Ohio. Mr. Barr will share the compelling story of the Becker family’s journey and highlight these historic shoes. Additionally, visitors can view one of the iconic Heart of The Ocean Necklace from the Titanic movie set, as well as several other items donated by Leonardo DiCaprio.

We invite you to embark on a distinguished exploration of the history and legacy of Titanic through this exceptional exhibit.

This exhibit will be free to attend on Saturday August 9, 2025, as part of the events being presented by the Mount Vernon Music and Arts Festival.
