Events & More

One of the most impressive displays is one of museums’ newest. An Icelandic tween built the World’s Largest Titanic model using 56,000 lego bricks. Taking nearly a year to complete the “Lego Boy,” Brynjar Karl dreamed of doing this and did it, with the help of his grandfather. Built in a Lego Wholesaler’s warehouse in Iceland, it was transported to the Titanic Museum for its debut. It has been exhibited in Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Oslo, Hamburg and then Pigeon Forge. The young boy has spoken at TED Talks because of his tenacity and his ability, despite his autism, to realize a dream. Don’t miss this 26 foot long Titanic replica, at the museum throughout the 2018 season.

The museum now sponsors “Families with Autism” events, an educational setting where those individuals can be introduced to the museum with appropriate lighting, with special attention paid to sensitivity issues. Special days and hours are set aside for these families.

The museum also has numerous educational classes for children and adults; science, arts, trivia and other classes whereby individuals can have interactive experiences including scavenger hunts, viewing actual brochures from the Titanic and newspapers from that era, how morse code was used and the experience of boarding a lifeboat.

Throughout the year, different exhibits are displayed such as “The Amazing Women of the Titanic.” You’ll see the largest collections of “high-society” fashions anywhere, some of which are over 100 years old. Also included are pieces from the Fashion Institute of Merchandising in Los Angeles and The Fashion History Museum from Ontario. View the fashions of 19 different women who were on board the Titanic and who were also known for their verve, not only in fashion but for their groundbreaking accomplishments in women’s issues. This collection is at the museum through November of 2018.

Special Celebrations on the Titanic

During the fall and winter seasons of 2018, the museum has their Thanksgiving Fireworks celebrations where comic book superheroes come to life during a parade. There’s free parking and the parade is free! Open from 9 am to 10 pm for this event.
