TheTitanicMuseum is a two-storymuseum shaped like theRMSTitanic. It is located inPigeon Forge, Tennessee, United States, and opened on April 8, 2010. It is built half-scale to the original ship. Similar tothe one in Branson, Missouri, the museum holds 400 pre-discovery artifacts in twenty galleries. It is the largest permanentTitanic museum in the world.[2]
The structure is built in a pool to create the illusion of theTitanic at sea, and the 2-hour, self-guided tour is designed to give guests the sensation of being an original passenger on theTitanic's 1912 maiden voyage.
As guests enter, they are given a passenger boarding ticket. On this ticket is the name of an actualTitanic passenger and the class they were traveling.[3] Guests will learn the individual stories of several passengers and crew members. The museum features a replica of the ship's First Class grand staircase, in which souvenir photos can be taken. In theTitanic Memorial Room, they will find out whether their ticketed passenger survived.
The structure was estimated to have cost $25 million to build.[4]
