Weather-wise, there’s a common phrase for March: “In like a lion, out like a lamb.”

Well, this month at The Henry Ford, we’re going in the opposite direction…and going out with a Titanic-sized finish.

We hope you’ll join us for all the excitement!

Learning Series – Evolution of Science and Technology, March 2: Catch the morning session (it’s free and open to the public) as Dr. Charles Dershimer explores how objects from everyday life demonstrate how people think about environmental issues, alter technology to suit their needs, and use technology to solve environmental problems. Find all the details here.

Local Roots Spring Evening Dining, March 8: Our award-winning culinary team is “Touring the Mitten” with a delectable dinner filled with Michigan treats! Get the info (and some recipes!) here.

Macy’s 2nd Mondays, March 12: We’re going green for St. Patrick’s Day during this fantastic outing designed just for preschoolers; from 10 a.m.-noon, kids can enjoy scavenger hunts, make-and-take activities, storytelling and more! (It’s free with your membership or admission to Henry Ford Museum.)

And then – the big one…

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, opening March 31: One hundred years ago, the Titanic sank in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. During this significant anniversary, you’ll be able to tour this premier exhibition chronicling the life of the ship and its passengers through more than 300 artifacts, extensive re-creations of the ship’s rooms and even a full-size replica of the Grand Staircase. If you only visit The Henry Ford once this year, make THIS the time to visit – this exhibition is truly not to be missed!

And while you’re here, make sure to see…

TITANICA at The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre, opening March 31: This traditional IMAX documentary film takes you down to the ocean floor to see the Titanic itself in astonishingly vivid and life-size detail on Michigan’s largest screen.
