Perth | November 2025 - One of the world’s most acclaimed historical exhibitions, Titanic. The Human Story, will make its Western Australian debut next month, bringing more than 200 original artefacts, personal belongings and rarely seen objects from the iconic ship to Perth for the very first time.
The exhibition promises Western Australians a deeply moving encounter with the real people behind one of history’s most enduring stories.
Created by international exhibitions company Musealia and curated with the guidance of renowned Swedish historian Claes-Göran Wetterholm, the exhibition has toured extensively across Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom, attracting millions of visitors worldwide.
Following a successful Australian debut in Brisbane, which welcomed more than 150,000 visitors in 2024, the Perth season will offer new audiences the chance to step inside a world rarely seen: the intimate and human stories of passengers and crew whose lives intersected aboard the Titanic’s maiden and final voyage.
Among the 200 objects on display are handwritten letters, clothing, wayward keepsakes and family belongings, many on loan from private collections and never before shown in Western Australia.
Visitors will encounter detailed recreations of Titanic’s interiors, from the elegance of first-class suites to the close confines of steerage accommodation, supported by an immersive audio guide featuring music, atmospheric soundscapes and authentic testimony.
But at its core, Titanic. The Human Story focuses on the human impact of the sinking, stories of love, hope, survival and heartbreak that continue to resonate more than a century later. Musealia CEO and Director, Luis Ferreiro, said Perth audiences can expect an exhibition that goes far beyond a historical display.
“The Titanic is a global story, but it is also profoundly human,” he said. “Every object in this exhibition belonged to someone with hopes, dreams and loved ones waiting for them. Our goal is to honour those individuals by telling their stories with accuracy, dignity and emotional truth."
Historian Claes-Göran Wetterholm, one of the world’s foremost experts on the Titanic, said the exhibition brings to life insights gathered over decades of research.
“After more than 40 years studying the Titanic, what continues to strike me is not the scale of the tragedy, but the humanity of the people on board,” said Claes.
“Through letters, photographs, music and personal belongings, visitors will come to know these individuals as parents, children, workers and survivors."
