Unique exhibits from the ill- fated RMS Titanic and the Vietnam War are being put on display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in the US.

The "Titanic at the Reagan Library" exhibit includes real artifacts from the ship, while the "Take Me Home Huey" art installation is an immersive piece created from the remains of a historic US Army helicopter shot down in 1969 during a medical rescue.

The Titanic exhibit is unique as it includes items that were gathered in a recovery mission from the British passenger liner, 'NBC4' reported.

"Nothing came from the ocean floor. This is an all-new exhibit, never-before-seen items," said Melissa Giller, spokeswoman for the library.

"Take Me Home Huey" is the creation of contemporary artist Steve Maloney, who said he was inspired by the 50th commemoration of the Vietnam Ward.

"Titanic at the Reagan Library" will be open from this Saturday to January 7, 2018, while "Take Me Home Huey" will be there only until May 29 of this year.

The Titanic exhibit reunites hundreds of Titanic artifacts not seen together since the ship struck an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912.
