In 1998, over half a million folks came out to greet the ships, this time, the city is expecting 700,000, so be ready for crowds. This is a ticketed exhibition, and the buzz indicates that tickets may be hard to get at the door. The Art Institute is four blocks south of the convention. Admission to the Art Institute is free on Tuesdays. There is also a related OmniMax film, Titanica .
Tickets are available on line.
