Titanic Belfast is built where the Titanic was truly born: at the top of the slipway next to Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the hull of the great ship was constructed and launched not far in front of the museum, and where the nearby drawing office was the place she first took shape. Telling this story on the original site is what sets this museum apart from other Titanic-themed exhibitions. Thousands of silver aluminum panels form the bow and ice-crystal-like exterior of the building, which has now become one of the landmarks of Belfast. Explore this world-famous story through the eyes of those who built it with hard work and great ambition. On the Titanic self-guided experience tour, you will explore the sights, sounds, smells and stories of the ship, as well as the people and city that created it. Along our carefully designed one-way route, you will visit the thriving city of Belfast and the shipyard where the Titanic was built, learn about the launch, fitting-out and inaugural flight of the Titanic, and then delve into the shipwreck, its aftermath, the search for the Titanic and her final resting place. You will have the opportunity to explore the hopes and dreams of those affected by this great ship and admire our unique collection of Titanic artifacts.
