It is no wonder that the Titanic, the doomed luxury liner of lore, can still capture the minds of the public years after it sank. The opulence of that tragic boat lives on at the Titanic Museum, which is a half-scale replica of the original and spans across 30,000 square feet (2787.09 square meters). The replica features parlors, cabins, hallways and a recreation of the Grand Staircase. Hundreds of artifacts are displayed in its galleries. Visitors can enter the museum with a boarding pass bearing the name of a Titanic crew member or passenger and unravel their fate through the interactive displays that are scattered throughout the museum.
