Your Journey Aboard the Titanic
When you visit the museum, you step through a giant artificial iceberg. This makes you feel like you are entering a cold, icy world. Each guest receives a special boarding ticket. This ticket has the name of a real Titanic passenger on it. It also shows which class they traveled in, like First Class or Third Class.
Discovering Passenger Stories
As you walk through the museum, you learn about the people on the ship. You hear the individual stories of several passengers. This helps you understand what their lives were like. It also shows what happened to them during the voyage.
The Grand Staircase
One of the most famous parts of the museum is a full-size copy of the ship's First Class grand staircase. This staircase was very beautiful and fancy on the real Titanic. You can even take souvenir photos on the replica staircase. It feels like you are stepping back in time.
Finding Out Your Fate
At the very end of your tour, you find out if the passenger on your ticket survived. This moment can be very emotional. It helps you connect with the real people who were on the Titanic.
The Museum's Unique Look
Like the museum in Pigeon Forge, the Branson museum has a very striking outside appearance. It looks like the front half of the original ocean liner. You can see the first two funnels, which are the large chimneys on the ship. This design makes the museum easy to spot and very memorable.
