Titanic – The journey continues
the official exhibition at Espai Inmersa
17 April to 28 September 2025
The Espai Inmersa in the Poblenou district has something special for us this year. An exhibition all about the Titanic. It’s not an immersive exhibition – there’s a lot toRead unfortunately only on Cat/ES, many exhibits and a small room in which the last hours of the Titanic are shown using computer technology. Over 200 original objects from the Titanic are also on display – and that also made it very, very exciting!
The VR glasses are only included in the VIP price – then you could call the exhibition ‘immersive’. But even without the VR glasses, as a Titanic fan, I really enjoyed the exhibition. And so did the children!

Only included in the price of VIP tickets. You don’t sit here, you walk through the room – I assume you’re walking on the deck of the Titanic.
Important notice:
The signs and texts etc. are all only in Spanish and Catalan. Only at the end of the exhibition are the various room texts also available in English… One text next to the other. I think that’s a bit of an unfortunate solution. So if you want to read everything in detail while you’re standing next to the objects, photos and replicas, you won’t have much fun, unfortunately.
But if you already know everything or a lot about the Titanic, you can still enjoy the exhibition.
The whole family visited the exhibition on a Sunday. It was really busy, but not overcrowded.
The exhibition starts thematically with the construction and the idea of the Titanic. We see pictures of Thomas Andrews, the designer, and Joseph Bruce Ismay, director of the White Star Line, to which the Titanic also belonged.
Pictures and films show how the workers built the ‘unsinkable’ ship, with a model in the centre that can be used to explain things to the children.
Captain Edward John Smith is also introduced here.
Then you enter the Titanic via a ramp… And walk along a reconstructed corridor…
About the exhibition
Titanic in Barcelona
We continue in a room with many objects that were recovered from the Titanic. We see plates, jewellery, a crushed coffee machine… plus pictures that were taken on the Titanic before it sailed – and so the Titanic as a work of art becomes more and more real.
We also see a reconstruction of a 1st class room and some pictures of passengers.
In the next room, it becomes quite breathtaking – the beautiful central staircase of the first class has been recreated! The staircase where Jack waits for Rose 😉
Many people took the opportunity to go up here and take photos!
We now move on to the main event… the sinking. We walk through the ‘engine room’, where it is explained how the ship was ‘fired up’. Pictures of the people who worked and died in the belly of the ship are shown… everything is illuminated in red – like the glow of fire that these guys saw every day.
And then it turns blue, because now it’s about the many ice warnings that the Titanic received throughout the evening and still didn’t slow down…
And then we also see an iceberg! Yes, a piece of artificial ice that you can touch and brings everything even closer. (We have already touched such a block of ice once at CosmoCaixa) and everything is enveloped in a starry sky.
We then walk past more pictures of survivors and deceased Titanic travellers into the room where the salvage of the finds finally takes place. Footage of the ship under water is shown, of the submarines and robots that went out to explore the wreck.
And then comes the first immersive part – a room in which we can watch the sinking of the Titanic ourselves. The wrong decision by First Officer William Murdoch, how the iceberg caught the Titanic, the Morse code signals that were then sent between the Titanic, the Carparthia and the Frankfurt. And unfortunately – what I didn’t know – the failed distress calls to the Californian, the ship that was closest to the Titanic, but which couldn’t be reached at night because the only telegraph went to bed…
We see how the Titanic breaks in two, how it lands on the seabed and how the people and lifeboats float on the sea.
It certainly touched me…
The last rooms then deal with the processes after the disaster and the impressive list of survivors and deceased shines on a wall.
It is sad to see that a very large percentage of the first class survived and a very large percentage of the third class and crew died…
The exhibition for non-VIP tickets ends with this room. So we walked back down the corridor to the exit and only here are the English-language explanations to be found – as already mentioned – very unfavourable…
Those who have VIP entry can now put on the VR glasses and enter the Titanic themselves. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this when I booked, so I wasn’t able to try it out…
Summary
Our family was of two minds.
My husband imagined it to be more ‘immersive’. He was a little disappointed.
My children really had a lot of questions, were interested and – I think – thought it was quite good.
And I was thrilled. I didn’t just study art history, I also studied history… but of course I was 16 years old in 1997 – when the film Titanic came out – and I was in full Titanic – Leonardo DiCaprio and Celine Dion mode. From that moment on, Titanic was something fascinating for me!
So, I hope I was able to make the exhibition a little more palatable for you!
