Musealia, a global leader in the creation of touring exhibitions, has announced that the exhibition Titanic. The Human Story will now be on show at the Musée de la civilisation in Quebec City until 8 March 2026.

This extended run reflects an extraordinary public response to the exhibition and will enable more visitors to experience Titanic. The Human Story through the winter season and beyond.


Since its launch in June 2025, this edition of Titanic. The Human Story has sold more than 240,000 tickets. Sessions are regularly fully booked, and demand remains strong from both local and international visitors.

'Moving and fascinating'

Produced by Musealia, Titanic. The Human Story presents a human-centred perspective of one of the most monumental events of the 20th century.

Instead of concentrating on the ship itself, the exhibition centres on its passengers and crew, using authentic artefacts, personal items, and engaging storytelling to highlight the lives, decisions, and situations that shaped the tragedy.

The exhibition’s approach has proven particularly successful in Quebec, where visitor feedback consistently underscores its emotional resonance and accessibility for a broad range of audiences, such as families, school groups, and cultural tourists.

“The Titanic exhibition was both moving and fascinating, giving a real sense of history and adventure," says one visitor. "A perfect mix of learning and fun for the whole family.”

It also strengthens Musealia’s reputation as a producer of large-scale, museum-quality international touring exhibitions that reach broad audiences through deeply human storytelling.

Earlier this year, Musealia marked the 25th anniversary of Titanic. The Human Story, which has welcomed over six million visitors across 25 cities, and some of the world's most respected institutions.
