So you're looking to relax on a Sunday afternoon. Forget about sleeping in and take the trip over to the Computer Museum for a Walk Through the Computer 2000. Ever wondered how that creature on your desk actually functions? This two story working model of a personal computer allows visitors to explore the world of their PCs. Dance on the keyboard or dive into the ethernet card at the Computer Museum. 300 Congress St., 423-6758. $5.
Okay, so touring a gargantuan model of your word processor wasn't what you had in mind. Maybe an hour or two at the World Trade Center's Titanica exhibit will flood you with emotion the same way Kate Winslet did when she sobbed, "I'll never let go." Or maybe it won't. Even if you're long past the Titanic movie phase, this exhibit is still fascinating. Examine jewelry, furnishings, and currency removed from the legendary ship, and then scurry over to the IMAX film Titanica. First showing: 9 a.m.; last showing: 8 p.m. World Trade Center Boston. $13.95.
