Friday 10th April 2026
Our visit will include 2 consecutive guided tours, in English: The Legend of the Titanic followed by the Bombas Gens: Memoria Habitada, which allows visitors to discover the historic and architectural heritage of the centre. After the tour, we will travel by coach to the nearby Restaurant Atmosphère for a group lunch.
From the producers of Tutankhamun, The Legend of the Titanic is a unique immersive exhibition that combines cutting-edge technology with a museum area showcasing historical artifacts from the era and a cinematic narrative. Through 360° projections, virtual reality, and interactive experiences, you can admire the ship’s majesty, relive its final voyage, and learn the moving stories of those who were on board. Explore the most iconic rooms, be moved by an original soundtrack composed by René Merkelbach, and discover the wreckage on a unique journey through the metaverse. This award-winning exhibition combines history with technology and allows you to explore the iconic ocean liner in all its splendour.
Bombas Gens: Memoria Habitada
- Visit the medieval wine cellar, revealing traces of agricultural work.
- Explore the former factory remains, reflecting industrialisation and workers’ life.
- Descend into the Spanish Civil War air-raid shelter, a space filled with memory and resistance.
- Conclude in the secret garden, where a site-specific installation by Cristina Iglesias reinterprets the past from a contemporary perspective.
Venue: Bombas Gens Centre d’Arts Digitals, Valencia.
