Another Night at the Museum

My last visit of a Denver museum is quite a while ago so I was more then delighted to see the adds for a Titanic exhibition at the Denver Nature and Science museum in the local newspaper. What I didn't expect was how popular the Titanic still is... taking in consideration that this boat is on the ground of the ocean for quite a while now and watching Leonardo slipping of the ice shelf was entertaining for some, it is already a decade ago too.

So you can imagine how surprised we were when we arrived at the museum and saw the words "Sold out" at the door. Various signs in different sizes and colors made clear that they were not joking... it really was sold out. And this picture on the right shows you how close we got to the exhibition: Christine, a German friend of mine, with a model of the Titanic. Pay attention to the front pole and the flag flying on top of it. I didn't know that the Titanic was an American ship... but that's the reason why we go to museums I guess... to learn something new ;-)

Even though this one exhibition was sold out we were able to see the other ones. The beast of the past millennia seem to be not that popular right now. So I was maybe the only one trying to pet and feed one of these sad and lonely fellas. No worries though... while the hype around the Titanic is maybe lasting for the last 80 years you guys had all the centuries before that. Let's speak in a few hundred years again ;-)
