The Short List

Salvaged History

The RMS Titanic will be memorialized 100 years after meeting its tragic demise in the new mega exhibit Titanic 12,450 Feet Below, which opens at Mystic Aquarium’s Ocean Exploration Center on April 12. The project was a collaboration between Dr. Robert Ballard—who led the 1980s exploration that found the sunken wreck—and former Walt Disney Imagineer Tim Delaney. The exhibit includes recreations, hands-on activities and a bilevel adventure area where kids and adults can chart their own course.

2011 Recovered

Cheshire writer and collagist Alan Bisbort altered all 52 of Time magazine’s 2011 covers using only photos and text found within each issue to create what he calls “a more truthful image of the contents of the magazine.” The result: ReCovering Time, on exhibit at the University of Connecticut’s Thomas J. Dodd Research Center in Storrs through June 8.
