The Titanic Belfast is the world's largest Titanic museum, and it is located at the site of the famous ship's construction in Northern Ireland, Belfast. The interactive museum took 3 years to build - the same amount of time it took to build the ship - and it opened just in time, on March 31, for the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic's launch. The Titanic's maiden and fatal voyage was made on April 10, 1912. The White Star Line ocean liner was originally constructed in the Belfast shipyard and the museum celebrates her craftsmanship and the people who built her. Irish Architecture firm TODD Architects is responsible for the design of the icy museum, which is clad in 3 thousand individual silver anodized aluminum shards, requiring sophisticated 3D modeling to complete. The museum's volume is meant to resemble four 27.5 meters high hulls although it eerily looks a bit like an iceberg, which was the cause of the ship's demise. Inside, the museum features 9 interactive galleries that explore the sights, sounds, smells and stories of the Titanic, as well as the city and people which made her. Visitors can explore how the ship was constructed, her launch, the lavish rooms of the wealthy, third class steerage, the timeline of the disaster, and then details about her watery grave. The building will also house temporary exhibits, a thousand seat banqueting suite, education and community facilities, catering and retail space and a basement car park.
