Did you know that The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, United States, is an attraction dedicated to telling the story of the famous ocean liner RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912 during its maiden voyage.
The museum is designed to resemble the shape of the Titanic, giving visitors an immersive experience. Upon entry, you are often given a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger who was on the Titanic. During the tour, visitors can explore replicas of the ship’s cabins, bridge and famous grand staircase.
The museum houses an extensive collection of authentic objects recovered from or related to the Titanic, including furniture, documents and passengers’ personal belongings. Additionally, exhibits detail the history of the ship’s construction, its tragic sinking, and the personal stories of survivors and victims.
A fun fact about the Titanic Museum is that visitors can experience what the water temperature felt like the night the Titanic sank. There is an interactive exhibit where you can immerse your hand in 32°F (0°C) water, simulating the icy conditions that passengers and crew faced in the North Atlantic, adding a realistic and emotional touch to the experience.
