freep.com	NEW EXHIBIT AT THE HENRY FORD CAPTURES LIFE ON THE TITANIC, 100 YEARS AFTER. Titanic. It's a word that captures a multitude of huge stories and ideas in just seven letters: Technological innovation and hubris, the rise of disaster journalism, the divide between the 1% and the 99%, Hollywood triumph and excess, and, of course, tragedy and loss of life on a piercingly human level. Whatever meaning the word had before April 14, 1912, it has grown far beyond the size of the great ship, thanks to an enduring fascination with the circumstances surrounding its wreck and the aftermath. Now, knocking at the door of the centennial of Titanic's single doomed voyage, Henry Ford Museum is launching its largest visiting exhibition ever, clocking in at 10,000 square feet of period re-creations and actual artifacts recovered from the briny deep where the ship's remains now rest. ...	25th March 2012
