: Toronto gets it all! When I went to the show in St.Paul, they didn't have all those rooms. Only the movie screen and the gift shop. The models were there. The pre-sinking model is the Warren Samut model of course. They had some kind of stand up wall of ice that you could put your hands on to feel how cold the water was. There were the many artifacts and the big piece also.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Toronto did seem to put on a pretty good exhibition. I took my nephew, and he seemed to learn a lot and have fun. The only things that disappointed me, were the overpriced souvenirs, and the fact that 'The Big Piece' was not there (something about it being in Virginia for further preservation). The two larger models actually looked pretty good to me, aside from a few minor (glaring to me, but seemingly minor to everyone else) errors. However the smaller model (about 6 feet long) on display in the gift shop was terrible! There were more things wrong about it than right! On another note, some of the artifacts and survivor's stories really hit home on an emotional level. I got all choked up a few times looking at people's personal effects.
