The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, looks just like the famous RMS Titanic ship! This two-story museum opened on April 8, 2010. It is built to be half the size of the real ship.
The museum sits in a pool of water. This makes it look like the Titanic is actually floating at sea! When you visit, you take a self-guided tour that lasts about two hours. It's designed to make you feel like you're a real passenger on the Titanic's first trip in 1912.
