Titanic Belfast

Titanic Belfast opened in April 2012 and is the world’s largest Titanic visitor attraction located on the site where the famous ship was built 100 years ago.  The state-of-the-art visitor experience is housed in the iconic six storey building and centres on the Exhibition and Gallery areas.

Marcon was responsible for the fit-out of 9 individual galleries within the iconic building.

During the design development stage, we were able to call on our in-house specialist joinery manufacturing facility to provide the final solutions to the original designs.  We were responsible for producing all of the shop drawings for the entire exhibition space and all of the specialist joinery throughout.  We also designed and manufactured metal work and solid timber displays for interactive touch screen housings and display cases.

We were initially contracted for the fit-out of the galleries but during the early stages of the design development process the client quickly realised the company’s potential, professionalism, quality of our manufacturing and our “can do” attitude. We were then contracted for the fit-out of the Galley Cafe, Bistro 401, Titanic Store as well as the fit-out of offices, training rooms and staff areas within the iconic building.

The retail element of the scheme has been one of the major successes for Titanic Belfast.  The nautical theme used throughout, the distressed timber displays, and leather luggage jewellery cabinets really add to the authenticity of the retail environment.

Project was awarded the category winner at the 2013 Museum & Heritage Awards in London and the Overall winner of the 2013 National Association of Shopfitters Awards; Titanic Belfast has received national recognition for the quality fit-out of the Gallery and Exhibition
