Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction and situated on the site where the RMS Titanic was built and launched over a century ago. Titanic Belfast is located in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast, in the Harland & Wolff shipyard, The building itself is an architectural landmark and reflects the maritime heritage of the area.

The museum is housed in a striking, modern building that is reminiscent of ship hulls and icebergs. Designed by architect Eric Kuhne and resembling four ship's prows, the structure is both functional and symbolic, representing Belfast's maritime history.

Titanic Belfast tells the story of the construction, launch, and tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic, which occurred on its maiden voyage in 1912. The museum provides a comprehensive overview of the ship's design, construction, passengers, and legacy.

The museum features a series of interactive exhibits, multimedia displays, and artifacts related to the Titanic. You can explore the different galleries that cover various aspects of the Titanic's history, including its conception, construction, launch, and the aftermath of the sinking.

One of my favourite parts of The museum is the replica of the Titanic's grand staircase, allowing you to experience the opulence of the ship's interior. There are also recreations of cabins, the ship's engine room, and other key areas.

Titanic Belfast incorporates modern technology and interactive elements to engage . Touchscreens, audio-visual presentations, and immersive displays bring the history of the Titanic to life.

Titanic Slipways:

Outside the museum, the Titanic Slipways and the historic Harland & Wolff Drawing Offices provide additional areas for exploration. The slipways are the exact location where the Titanic and her sister ship, the Olympic, were constructed.

SS Nomadic:

Adjacent to Titanic Belfast is the SS Nomadic, a tender ship that ferried passengers to and from the Titanic. It has been restored and is open to the public, providing additional insight into the maritime history of the period.

☕️The museum includes visitor facilities such as a gift shop, cafes, and a restaurant.
