This Exhibition brings to life the grandeur and tragedy of the world's most famous ship and showcases a carefully curated collection of authentic artifacts respectfully recovered from the Titanic wrecksite. Each artifact provides a tangible connection to the Ship's past and offers a profound glimpse into the lives of the Ship's passengers and crew, including those with significant ties to Switzerland such as the Kink family. As an immigrant third-class family from Switzerland, the Kink family shared ambitions with many other third-class families for a better life in America. Father Anton, mother Luise, and daughter Louise Kink were the only third-class steerage family where all immediate members survived the disaster; however, like so many others, they also experienced loss, as both Anton's brother and sister perished that night.

"The tragedy of Titanic reverberated across the globe," said Tomasina Ray, Director of Collections for RMS Titanic, Inc. "Switzerland was represented in all three classes and throughout Titanic's crew. The artifacts tell their stories as only the real artifacts from the Titanic can. I am also excited to step into the immersive space that is new for Lausanne, allowing an enhanced experience of history and Titanic's wrecksite."

"Switzerland is a key destination for TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition. The stories of bravery and courage are vividly brought to life through the authentic artifacts we are honored to present in Lausanne," said Gautam Chandna, Business Development Director for E/M Group. "Exhibition visitors will also be the first to experience a new immersive section that offers a closer connection to the Ship and exclusive, re-created images of life on deck. In our ongoing mission to share the Titanic's legacy, we look forward to bringing this extraordinary artifact collection to other major cities in the future."

Located in the heart of Vaud's Olympic Capital, Beaulieu Lausanne is a place of life and culture and embodies the dynamic spirit of the region. It will host the Exhibition opening on September 27. To purchase tickets, visit https://www.ticketcorner.ch/fr/artist/titanic-l-exposition/
