Rare Opportunity to Experience a World Without Sight to Open in Atlantic Station August 30, 2008

ATLANTA, July 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Exhibitions, Inc, (NasdaqGM:PRXI - News) a major provider of museum quality exhibitions throughout the world, announced today that its new blockbuster exhibition Dialog in the Dark will make its US debut this summer in Atlanta. Already experienced by more than 5 million individuals in over 20 countries, Dialog in the Dark will open Saturday, August 30th at the new Atlantic Station Exhibition Center located in the heart of Atlanta's premier live, work, play community.

Hailed as a unique and inspiring social enterprise, this renowned exhibition replicates familiar environments and challenges individuals to perform tasks without the use of their sight. Visitors are escorted through galleries in total darkness, where scents, sounds, temperatures and textures turn daily routines into an unforgettable experience. A reversal of roles is created where sighted visitors are asked to rely on guides who are visually impaired or blind to provide security and a sense of orientation, leaving them with a unique appreciation and lasting impression of a world without pictures.

``Dialog in the Dark is a thought-provoking and exceptional experience, which has become a highly anticipated, worldwide phenomenon'' states Bruce Eskowitz, president and CEO of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. ``We are thrilled to bring this extraordinary exhibition to the U.S. and debut in Atlanta at our new Atlantic Station Exhibition Center. Dialog in the Dark will move participants and leave a lasting impression.''

``Dialog in the Dark is not an ordinary exhibition, but rather a platform for communication and exchange between cultures,'' states Andreas Heinecke. ``The exhibition has provoked a change in perspectives, challenging our skills and perceptions towards human diversity. We are thrilled to work with Premier Exhibitions to enhance the experience of Dialog in the Dark and continue the success we have seen worldwide.''

Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions, Inc., is presenting Dialog in the Dark through a long-term licensing agreement with the exhibition's global originator Andreas Heinecke. For his groundbreaking work, Heinecke received a Fellowship in 2005 from Ashoka, a global organization which recognizes social entrepreneurs who work for change and strive to make a positive social impact through innovative solutions.

A hallmark of the exhibition's impact on local communities is the more than 5,000 individuals who are blind or visually impaired who have been employed at Dialog in the Dark exhibitions around the world. For the U.S. tour, Premier is partnering with Manpower Inc., the world leader in employment services, to advance the training and employment opportunity for these individuals. Through its sponsorship, Manpower will hire and train the guides with the long-term goal of sustained employment after the exhibitions close.
