Open for just one month in Pigeon, Tennessee, the Titanic – World’s Largest Museum Attraction cannot meet the demand and has been selling out since its inauguration.
It must be said that the museum, the second of its kind after one in Branson, Missouri, is impressive. It is housed inside a scale model of the ship which entered the annals of history after sinking on its maiden voyage in 1912. It is a scale model but still several storeys high.
It contains a host of impressive reconstructions of many parts of the Titanic, from the captain’s post to a first-class room as well as a third-class room, large wooden steps and even a part of the engine room. The Titanic Museum is the closest experience people can have to what real Titanic passengers saw when they boarded her nearly 100 years ago.
There’s a poignant moment during the visit when visitors can pass through an area commemorating the 1,520 victims of the shipwreck that occurred on the night of April 14, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland.
It is recommended to reserve your entry tickets to the museum in advance in order to avoid arriving to a closed and sold-out ticket booth.
