Explore the Titanic in Pigeon Forge - Titanic Museum Attraction

Titanic Pigeon Forge

Titanic Pigeon Forge

On Thursday, April 8, 2010 the World's Largest Museum Attaction launched. There's no shortage of things to do on your Smoky Mountain cabin vacation!

Today the great Titanic lives on at the permanent Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee where a towering symbol of hope and courage has been recreated in all of its glorious splendor. Here guests will relive and celebrate the lives of the 2,208 passengers and crew aboard the ship. The concept of this permanent museum is a celebration of the ship and her passengers and crew and to pay respect to those who gave their lives by simply telling their stories. Each guest entering the ship will receive a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger or crew. Feel their spirit presence in the galleries where over 300 personal and private artifacts are on display. Many are on display for the first time in the world. This collection is valued at over four and a half million dollars. This is a two hour self-guided tour.

Discover your passenger or crew’s fate in the Titanic Memorial Room where 2,208 names line this historic wall.

The heart of the ship is the Grand Staircase, constructed from the original Harland & Wolff plans with its oak carvings and cherub statue. Here, a magnificent glass dome reflects light off oak wall paneling and elaborate railings and iron scrollwork. Wide, sweeping steps and landings provide a spectacular area where the original guests of the RMS Titanic made their appearances. You’ll be surprised to learn what the floor was made of – something considered most expensive for 1912.
