The building itself is a work of art as an artistic impression of four ships hulls towering 90 feet high. It’s the world’s largest attraction dedicated to the Titanic, the main exhibition taking up 11,000 square metres of space.

The façade of the building has a dynamic appearance, covered in thousands of 3D aluminium plates that, especially on a sunny day, are spectacularly enhanced by the surrounding reflective pools. It is situated just 100 yards from where Titanic’s hull was first launched. With the help of the ship building the Northern Irish city enjoyed its greatest economic boom of the 20th century.

As soon as you enter the vast exhibition you see everything from the early beginnings when the liner was just an idea to its tragic end in 1912.

The Launch

On 31 May 1911 Titanic was launched, watched by an adoring crowd of around 100,000 people. At the centre you can stand at a window and look down the slipway where Titanic once sat. State of the art technology means that you can flick a switch and as if my magic you will see the ship resting on the slipway.

The Wreckage

Titanic lies 13,000 feet below the waves in the North Atlantic, but thanks to the tireless work of oceanographers you can walk through a detailed gallery of the amazing images and footage that have been collected over the years, as the ship every day becomes more a part of the seabed.

Legendary Tales

Few stories have received as much attention in story and film as the Titanic. There’s a gallery that shows just how much it has features in pop culture. Can you tell the difference between fact and fiction?Check out the posters and paraphernalia to see how much you really know about the legend.

You mustn’t miss this, and it’s an easy trip from any centrally located hotel in Belfast, and I’m sure you won’t be far from some knowledgeable people who can help you get there.

It’s the greatest maritime story in the world and Titanic Belfast is a fitting testament.
