Grand Opening of Titanic Museum
by: Matthew J. Way
100 feet high, towering over the West Highway 76 traffic stands another of Branson’s unique attractions, Titanic – World’s Largest Museum Attraction. The museum, presents a touching opportunity to anyone that passes through its iceberg-shrouded entrance.
Boarding Pass = Ticket of Opportunity
The ticket you receive upon entering is not merely a pass to view the exhibits inside. No, it is your opportunity, should you choose to accept, to understand what it might have been like to be the one of 2,200 passengers whose name is on the ticket you receive.
Everyone aboard the Titanic that disastrous night in 1912 was a unique individual with circumstances, habits, and a particular lifestyle that distinguished them from the rest. Your ticket affords you the ability to somewhat identify with that particular individual.
Experience the Titanic
As you move through the museum, you can browse or examine 400 artifacts related to the Titanic or its passengers. All of this contributes to your experiencing living in the place of a passenger aboard the ship. 20 galleries contribute to the experience including:
- 18 foot scale model of the Titanic
- First class quarters
- Third class cabins
- Marconi room (replica of the telegraph system on board)
- The Grand staircase
- The Captain’s bridge
Your experience concludes with your learning the destiny of your passenger in the memorial room. The room reveals the names of the 2,200 people on board and tells whether the person named on your boarding pass was a survivor, or if they were not one of the fortunate ones.
This human drama remains as one of the most interesting stories today. People everywhere continue fascinated by the lives of the individuals and the events associated with the Titanic. Hence, now in Branson, MO, everyone can go beyond learning of this event. One can become a passenger and experience the Titanic.
