THE final plans for Southampton’s £15m Sea City Museum can today be exclusively unveiled.
The museum, which will reshape the city’s Civic Centre forever, is expected to attract 150,000 visitors a year.
The Daily Echo can reveal a dramatic cruise-liner inspired extension which will be the largest museum display area in Hampshire.
Known as “The Pavilion”, Southampton City Council hopes it will bring international blockbuster exhibitions to the city for the first time.
The old magistrates’ courts will be transformed into two permanent exhibitions, titled “Southampton’s Titanic Story” and “Gateway to the World”.
Southampton’s Titanic story will be told through the eyes of the crew and community to which they belonged.
