Is the Titanic Museum a landmark?

The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is not considered a historical landmark in the traditional sense.

Here's why:

* It's a modern attraction: The museum opened in 2010, meaning it's a relatively recent structure. Historical landmarks are usually older buildings or sites with significant historical significance.

* It's a replica: While the museum houses artifacts from the Titanic, the building itself is not a historical site. It's a modern building designed to resemble the Titanic, but it's not the actual ship.

* It's not a site of the Titanic: The Titanic Museum is located in Pigeon Forge, which is far from the actual location of the Titanic's sinking in the North Atlantic Ocean.

However, it is a popular tourist destination and a well-known landmark within the city of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

There are other places that could be considered Titanic landmarks, including:

* The Titanic Belfast: This museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is located on the site where the Titanic was built.

* The location of the wreck: The actual site of the Titanic wreckage in the North Atlantic is a protected site and considered a significant historical landmark.
