The Maiden Voyage – the journey from Belfast to Southampton, and from there to Cherbourg, Queenstown (Cobh) and westwards. A central feature in the gallery presents a 360-degree computer-generated tour around Titanic through all the levels of the vessel, from the engine room to the dining saloons and the bridge. The fourth gallery presents a large-scale model of Titanic to illustrate how the ship appeared to its passengers and crew, depicting all three classes of cabins. The Fit-Out – the fitting-out of Titanic from her launch through to April 1912. It overlooks the slipway from which Titanic was launched and a window enables visitors to see the slipways and docks as they appear now. The Launch gallery portrays scenes from the Spring day when Titanic was launched into Belfast Lough, watched by 100,000 people. The Launch – how Titanic was launched on. The visit continues on a six-seater car which takes the visitor on a ride through a recreation of a shipyard which moves through a scale replica of Titanic's enormous rudder. A lift carries visitors to the top of the gantry, where scenes of shipbuilding are displayed through audio and images. The Shipyard – a ride aboard a mini-car up and around a replica of Titanic's rudder.The second gallery is dominated by a steel scaffold standing 20 metres (66 feet), which alludes to the Arrol Gantry built to aid the construction of Titanic and Olympic. It illustrates the city's major industries before leading through an original set of gates from the Harland and Wolff shipyard into an interactive floor presenting Titanic's construction plans, along with original drawings and scale models of the ship. The first gallery recreates scenes from Belfast at the time of Titanic's construction in 1909–11. Titanic Belfast's exhibition was designed by London based exhibition designers Event Communications and consists of nine interpretative and interactive galleries, covering the following themes: Boomtown Belfast – the city at the start of the 20th century.

The redevelopment plans included houses, hotels and entertainment amenities plus a maritime heritage museum and science centre. Development rights over 185 acres was subsequently bought by Harcourt Developments at a cost of £46 million, with 23 more acres set aside for a science park. The derelict land was renamed the 'Titanic Quarter' in 2001 and was earmarked for regeneration. A number of heritage features were given listed status, including the Olympic and Titanic slipways and graving docks, as well as the iconic Samson and Goliath cranes. Most of the disused structures on the island were demolished. The decline of shipbuilding in Belfast left much of the area derelict. It was used for many years by the shipbuilders Harland and Wolff, who built huge slipways and graving docks to accommodate the simultaneous construction of Olympic and Titanic. The building is located on Queen's Island, an area of land at the entrance of Belfast Lough which was reclaimed from the water in the mid-19th century.

The building contains more than 12,000 square metres (130,000 sq feet) of floor space, most of which is occupied by a series of galleries, plus private function rooms and community facilities. It tells the stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank during her maiden voyage in 1912, and her sister ships RMS Olympic and HMS Britannic. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction and a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard in the city's Titanic Quarter where the RMS Titanic was built.
