Everything at Titanic Museum is done on a large scale; from the amazing fireworks displays and events to the perfect re-creation of the Titanic's Grand Staircase. And, it is a moving experience to view the collection of more than 400 authentic Titanic artifacts on display in the museum's 20 galleries.
It's amazing to think that since opening that the Titanic Museum Attraction has quickly become one of the region's premier destinations and has been voted among one of East Tennessee's "Top Five Attractions." John Joslyn, co-owner of the Titanic Museum Attraction shared his thoughts on the museum, "Every day the Titanic honors each and every one of them by telling their stories and bringing them to life for our guests. Our visitors truly experience what it was like onboard the world's most luxurious ocean liner."
In addition to being a world class museum in the truest sense of the word, Titanic Museum Attraction is also highly interactive and offers a hands-on experience for children, teenagers and adults. The ship is anchored in water to create the illusion of Titanic at sea, and a two-hour self-guided tour gives guests the sensation of sailing on the original ship's 1912 maiden voyage. Upon entry, each guest receives a boarding pass bearing the name of an actual Titanic passenger or crew member whose fate is revealed on the Memorial Wall at tour end. Along the way, powerful emotions surface as you:
* Walk Titanic's Grand Staircase
* Touch the frozen surface of an "iceberg"
* Feel the chill of that fateful "Starry Night"
* Study some of the largest, most detailed Titanic models ever built
* Grip the ship's wheel and follow the Captain's commands
* Tour world-class galleries and the rare historical artifacts they hold
* Sit in a Titanic lifeboat and listen to actual survivors tell their stories
* Send an SOS from the Marconi Wireless Room
* Test their balance while standing on mini-decks built to show the ever-steeper slope of Titanic as she sank
* Watch children eight years and younger explore the special interactive Tot-Titanic Play-and-Learn Room
* Dive to Titanic's wreck site via spectacular underwater camera footage
The Titanic Museum offers a unique experience you'll will never forget!
