Overview
- The Volo Museum’s Titanic gallery took on several inches of water during an overnight downpour in the Chicago area.
- A water sensor alerted staff early, and the museum said they moved displays to protect them from the rising water.
- Marketing director Jim Wojdyla called the coincidence "almost paranormal" after water pooled in odd spots under a one-of-a-kind car.
- The museum reported no damage to high-value artifacts or vehicles and said the gallery has been dried out.
- Officials cited 2.43 inches of rain at O’Hare and a spring total of 9.29 inches above normal as the exhibit logged its second flood since its 2024 debut.
