— a note from the studio

“A six-storey aluminium-clad museum on the slipway where Titanic was built and launched. The building opened in 2012, a hundred years after the sinking, designed to rise the height of the ship's hull above the dockside. Around it, the regenerated Titanic Quarter holds the dry dock, the pump house, and the slow ground where the great liners came together. From the studio.

— about Titanic Belfast

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

Titanic Belfast stands at the head of the former Harland and Wolff shipyard slipways on Queen's Island, in the Titanic Quarter regeneration zone northeast of Belfast city centre. The museum opened on 31 March 2012, marking the centenary of Titanic's launch and sinking. It is run by the Titanic Foundation, a charitable trust, and has drawn more than eight million visitors since opening, including more than a million in its first year alone, when the centenary brought the city's attention back to the slipway.

— the stone

Civic Arts (Eric Kuhne) and Todd Architects designed the building as four angular hulls rising from a star-shaped plan, faced with about 3,000 silver-anodised aluminium panels, each individually shaped. The four prows reach 38 metres, the height of Titanic from waterline to boat deck. Inside, nine galleries trace the ship from the shipyard noise of 1909 Belfast through the launch and the maiden voyage to the ocean floor, where Robert Ballard found the wreck in September 1985.

— the visit

Entry is timed and ticketed. The standard tour runs the nine galleries plus a Shipyard Ride that lifts visitors through a recreated gantry. The SS Nomadic, last surviving White Star vessel and the tender that ferried first-class passengers to Titanic at Cherbourg, sits restored in the Hamilton Dock alongside. The Titanic Slipways outside are marked with the ship's full outline in pale stone, so the scale of the hull lands underfoot as you walk it.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Titanic Belfast — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

The museum opened on 31 March 2012, marking the centenary of Titanic's 1911 launch and 1912 sinking. It now anchors the Titanic Quarter regeneration on the old Harland and Wolff yard.

Yes. Titanic was designed and built at Harland and Wolff's Queen's Island yard between 1909 and 1911, then fitted out and launched into the River Lagan. The slipway sits directly outside the museum.

Four angular hulls clad in about 3,000 shaped aluminium panels, rising 38 metres, the height of Titanic from waterline to boat deck. The plan reads as a four-pointed star or a White Star flag.

Most visitors take between two and three hours for the nine galleries and the Shipyard Ride. Adding the SS Nomadic and the slipway walk outside pushes a full visit to about half a day.

The building was designed by Civic Arts (Eric Kuhne) with Todd Architects of Belfast and engineered by Buro Happold. Construction by Harcourt began in 2009 and finished in early 2012.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The shipyard touched tens of thousands of Belfast families across four generations. A Medium or Large with a studio note settles well in a home that still tells those stories.

The steel blues and ship-grey palette sit well with Industrial-Modern, Maritime, and Mid-century rooms. It pairs with dark wood, leather, and brass fittings.

Yes. Maritime-modern interiors have held steady in coastal cities and shipbuilding towns. A Medium above a desk works as a quiet anchor; a Large carries a great-room wall.

A single Large covers most sofas. For a long wall, the 4-tile Mural reads as one composition, and the 9-tile Mural anchors a great-room above a console.

Yes, ordered in Dura Satin or Matte. Both finishes are scratch-resistant and steam-tolerant for backsplashes, shower walls, and powder rooms.

A soft microfibre cloth and water. No abrasive pads or solvents. The colour lives in the surface beneath a thin protective layer.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is curated by Reid Wender at the studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. Nothing is licensed in or sold through third parties.
