Jing Z: PAHMUSA is closed until further notice.In addition, Google My Business doesn't list PAHMUSA's hours correctly.Also, a sign on one of the museum windows stated it's scheduled reopen was 12/14. Sadly, upon arrival at the museum on 12/18, we discovered it was still closed.Reports from building employees are that the owner had to relocate and downsize all museum displays into a much smaller place. We need more spaces like this, especially in the state/region. I hope the owner(s) get the support they need to reopen. I did manage to take a few photos of the exhibits that were visible from outside the various museum spaces.LOCATION: It's not visible from outside and given they've relocated, I hope better signage, inside and out, improves so we all find it.Parking is metered.Stay tuned for an update, post re-opening visit.

Evan Hetzler: Wonderful experience

Bianca Giron: A little hard to find and it is street parking. They had to turn the lights on in the back to show me the museum. Very tiny but for $4 I would not expect too much. There are a few unique items worth seeing. A lot of the cooler stuff got moved to the museum in Pigeon Forge though. Also no pictures was disappointing. Bathroom was also not available.

Jason Firewicz: This place is practically a hole in the wall in Indian Orchard hidden in the back of a jewelry store, and I went out of my way to find it because I haven't lived around here for almost 30 years and couldn't locate it before Google or GPS was even a thing.Most of their Titanic collection was made up of typical pictures, books, magazines and models, etc. The largest one of a kind models are phenomenal in their detail. The most interesting things here included a few items donated by real Titanic survivors from their actual voyage, a piece of carpet and small materials taken from the Titanic before it sank, and a couple of tools donated by Dr. Ballard's team from his first exploration expedition. The lady who operated the place from the founding family of the society was of course very friendly and informative.

marc riel: Like

Ken M: Lots of history and artifacts from and about Titanic and her sister ships. A must stop if you are into the History of Titanic. A little hard to find, It's inside a small jewelry store.

Ian Roberts: The guide was knowledgable and directly involved with the board and pieces in the collection. Amazing collection and tour. Worth a visit and may even join the board.

Automaniac: Great place to visit
