The opening day of the display of the Bluebird K7 in Coniston was described as being 'absolutely fantastic'.
To mark the occasion and the return of the vessel to the Lake District, BBC's The One Show paid a visit to the Ruskin Museum on Tuesday night.
The team spoke to Donald Campbell's daughter Gina, and Tracy Hodgson, the director of the museum.
Tracy said: "Today was the first day that we've been open since she was here and we've had over 400 people in today."
Standing next to the Bluebird, Gina said it was a 'dream come true' to have it in Cumbria once again.
"Just look at her - she's magnificent, she's the best you'll ever see, she is just out of this world," she said.
Mr Campbell was fatally injured in the boat on Coniston Water in January 1967 while attempting the world water speed record.
Just over 23 years since it was recovered from Coniston Water, the Bluebird made its long awaited return to the area on March 10.
Gina was hopeful the display will encourage more people to learn about her father.
She added: "I want people to remember the achievements of my late father because of what he achieved for this country and British engineering.
"I want the young to come and have a dream - dream big and dream that you can be the pinnacle of your career."
The work will not stop for the museum there however with sights set on returning it to the water.
Gina explained: "Without a question of doubt, there is no way she's becoming a dusty old relic.
"She's going to have her new engine implanted in her, she will lift up her skirts as my father used to say."
