2134 Parkway Pigeon Forge, TN , 37863-2995 Phone: (417) 334-9500 Website The Titanic Museum is a two-story museum shaped like the RMS Titanic. It opened on April 8, 2010. It is built half-scale to the original ship. Similar to the one in Branson, Missouri, it holds 400 pre-discovery artifacts in twenty galleries. It is the largest permanent Titanic museum in the world. The structure is built in a pool to create the illusion of the Titanic at sea, and the 2-hour, self-guided tour is designed to give guests the sensation of being an original passenger on the Titanic's 1912 maiden voyage. As guests enter, they are given a passenger boarding ticket. On it is the name of an actual Titanic passenger and the class in which he or she was traveling in. Guests will learn the individual stories of several passengers. In the Titanic Memorial Room, they will find out whether their ticketed passenger survived or not.
