GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - When the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, few thought interest in the vessel would remain as high as it is 100 years later.

"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" has been seen by more than 15 million visitors as it has traveled the world.

Beginning Feb. 9, 2013, that exhibit will be at the Grand Rapids Public Museum through July 7. Some of the artifacts were displayed at the museum during a media event Monday.

This exhibit goes along with "Great Lakes Shipwrecks: Storms and Stories" that began Saturday.

WOOD TV8 is one of the sponsors of the Titanic exhibition.
