Interactive museum detailing Titanic's history and Belfast's shipbuilding
"An immersive museum dedicated to the history of the Titanic and Belfast's shipbuilding heritage." - Aashna Gajra
"A museum dedicated to the history of the RMS Titanic, located in the city's Titanic Quarter, offering interactive exhibits and historical insights."
"Since 2012, the cornerstone of any Belfast trip has been the Titanic museum. Rightly so, as in 2016, it had the honor of being named the world’s most popular tourist attraction at the World Travel Awards. A vast shiplike structure built on the slipway, which named the luxury liner itself, Titanic Belfast tells the story of the world’s most famous ship in an engaging multimedia format. Highlights include a ride through the building process of the ship, recreations of the different cabins aboard the ship, as well as the grand staircase made famous by the 1997 movie. A big focus of the museum is on the amazing construction of the ship and all its glamorous features — less so on its tragic fate — but the final floors do offer a sobering look into the ship’s final moments at sea, along with findings from the undersea wreckage. In the surrounding area, guests can also find tributes to the thousands of Belfast shipyard workers who built the Titanic and similar ships over the centuries. In the summer months, the slipway hosts outdoor concerts." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"What you think you know about the Titanic is, well, just the tip of the iceberg—and this incredible center, the world’s largest Titanic-themed visitor attraction, is here to reveal the rest. Set on what was once the Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the RMS Titanic was built, the center’s striking, contemporary building houses nine interactive, multi-media galleries that showcase the ship’s history and construction process, display artifacts, allow you to “walk” its decks and explore the shipyard (via a ride), experience the excitement of the ship’s launch (virtually, of course), and much more. Through it all, the attraction sheds light not just on the famously doomed ship, but also on the history of Belfast and its shipbuilding traditions—so prepare to see plenty of proud locals and tourists alike." - Sandra Ramani
