The building is clad in metal shards and when the light plays on them it looks like the movement of water. From above, the building resembles a white star, the symbol of Titanic’s builders.
The experience takes you through the boom of Belfast as a linen manufacturing town, to a booming shipyard town. There is a shipyard ride where you ride through a mock up of a shipyard in action complete with all the noise.
There are tons of interactive displays that are fun for kids and adults alike and a computer generated image of all the levels of the Titanic from the engine room to the decks all you have to do is stand in the room and the walls display the images as if you are riding in a glass elevator riding through the ship.
There is a floor just for the maiden voyage, the sinking and the aftermath which were all very intense. They made it very personal as you could follow along with a few folks lives from a newly booming shipyard to them being lost at sea.
All in all it was interesting, and very computer technical heavy.
