Titanic Belfast Gallery Refresh

Titanic Belfast has re-opened its doors to the public on Saturday 04th March following a multimillion-pound gallery refresh programme.

Marcon were appointed Principal fit out contractor for the refresh of 4 galleries at Titanic Belfast. The revamped experience combines immersive technology with original maritime heritage collection to tell the authentic story of the Titanic and offer an enriched and emotive experience.
The new experience begins as visitors leave The Sinking. On the staircase between gallery six and seven visitors see a backlit double height wall noting the names of passengers. Positioned in front of those names is one of only twelve remaining Titanic life jackets in the world, the first of the new artefact on display.

Within gallery 7, the Titanic disaster was caused by a chain reaction of several mistakes. This is demonstrated by large lightboxes as tumbling dominos. Each of the dominoes focuses on one step in the chain reaction.

Gallery 8 is split into zones and incorporates models, digital interactives, interpretive graphic panels, demonstrating the stages of discovering the Titanic wreckage.

Gallery 9 visitors have a panoramic view of the entire gallery space and its centre piece, an 8-meter-long model of the Titanic. The floor to ceiling projections takes visitors on an immersive journey. Showcases on the lower floor of gallery 9 highlight some of the rarest pieces of memorabilia from the ship.

In Gallery 10 a bespoke panoramic wall was manufactured to display memorabilia. A projection show provides the audience with how the legacy of the Titanic lives on in the city today. Before leaving the exhibition, visitors can strike a pose to capture their Jack and Rose photo moment on a recreation of the bow of the ship with graphic backdrop.
