Branson has the most interesting collection of museums all over the country, and this is one attraction that you should not miss during your visit to Branson.
One museum that stands out among all the others is the Branson Titanic Museum http://www.titanicbranson.com/titanic-branson-events. As a tribute to the world’s most famous luxury liner, “The Unsinkable Titanic”, Branson lets the guests know the history of Titanic better through the artifacts uncovered from the ship itself, and through the stories of the survivors, as well. You will be “passengers” of the Titanic for a day, and you will get to walk the hallways, parlors, cabins, and the famed Grand Staircase of the ship. One of the activities in this museum is touching a real iceberg, and reaching in to waters at 28 degrees. You will also get to try standing on the sloping decks of the ship. It is like a first-hand experience of the luxuries of the Titanic. Guests get to have a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger or crew. Later on in the self-guided tour, you will enter a gallery where you can see more than 400 personal and private artifacts. Last stop will be in the historic wall in the Memorial Room, where 2,208 names are on display. In here, you can find out about the fate of the passenger or crew in your boarding pass. The heart of the whole museum is the Grand Staircase, which is built from the original Harland & Wolff plans – complete from the cherub statue up to the details in the oak carvings.
Other activities that you can do in the Branson Titanic Museum is shovelling makeshift coal into the ship’s boiler room, send an SOS signal, and sit in an actual lifeboat and listen to the stories of the survivors. As they say, the best form of paying respect to the passengers and crew of the Titanic is to tell their stories. Perhaps one of the main reasons why guests keep coming back to the Titanic Museum in Branson is the various line-up of events for the year.
