Titanic Belfast, opened in 2012, stands as a monument to the maritime city and the famous liner. Its nine galleries feature artifacts, recreations of ship interiors, and exhibits detailing the construction process, passenger stories, and the sinking. The museum is shaped like a ship’s hull and includes a ride through a recreated shipyard.

In Columbus, Ohio, Unsinkable Hotels plans to open a Titanic-themed hotel in 2028. This boutique hotel will feature recreated rooms, including a First Class Dining Saloon, Cafe Parisien, and a Boat Deck Bar. The hotel will also include elegant suites, a spa, a gift shop, and a rooftop bar, aiming to immerse guests in the passenger experience of the early 1900s.
