Museum Plans Unveiled

More local news from in and around the Solent area from Dibben and Dibben as plans and designs for Southamptons propsed Titanic Museum are finally released. Southampton's new museum, is set to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The £28m project in the city from where the liner set sail on her maiden voyage in 1912, will feature a climb-aboard replica of the ship.

Project funding has come from The Heritage Lottery Fund to the tune of £499,000 for the development, this in turn has been matched by the council. It is hoped that phase one of the Sea City Museum will open to public in 2012.

There will also be an exhibitions gallery shared between the museum and City Art Gallery, creating more space to display up to 100 paintings from the council's collection. The Civic Centre will also be converted with the main exhibition hall turned into a scene of the dockside in Southampton with the Titanic about to depart.

However Southampton City Council still needs to find a further £10m of funding and is currently exploring a range of possible opportunities for raising the money.
