Titanic Belfast

The world’s largest Titanic exhibition opens to the public on the 31st of March to commemorate the centenary of her catastrophic demise on the 12th April 2012, with a two week Launch Festival of celebrations.

The stunning and iconic building, which houses the exhibition, is situated in the heart of Belfast on the slipway, where it all began, and explains the story of the ship from its conception and construction through the launch, and her infamous maiden voyage, and onto current undersea exploration on the wreck.

The stunning and inspiring visitor attraction is home to some of the most beautiful immersive experiences DJW has created spaced out over 9 galleries. Working with designers Event Communications and ISO Design a projection cave has been created with three 6 by 2.5 metre walls which immerse visitors on a journey from the engine room to ship’s bridge.

Visitors can also investigate the design and construction of the ship through an interactive floor projection game; ride the Shipyard Dark Ride, using special effects, animations and reconstructions of shipbuilding; witness the heroism and horror of the Ship’s last hours with stimulating atmospheric sound and lighting which creates a subtle and moving recreation of the ship’s catastrophic and untimely demise.

The Aftermath gallery goes on to give details of the inquiries and sensational news reports are exchanged with the visitor using a range of recordings, re-enacted performances and exhibits; in Myths and Legends visitors can investigate aspects of the story to learn the truths or falsehoods about the ill-fated ship using interactive touch screens.

Titanic Beneath’ allows the visitor unparalleled access to specialist footage from the wreckage, the Ocean Exploration Centre gives visitors interactive engagement with forward thinking technologies.
