TITANIC BELFAST - Museum and Memorial Complex (SUBTITLE)

Hello friends! In this video we will visit the Titanic Museum in Belfast.
Information from Wikipedia:
Titanic Belfast is a museum and monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland and Wolf shipyard in the Titanic Quarter. Opened April 1, 2012
It tells stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, and of its brothers, the Olympic and Britannic. The building contains more than 12 thousand square meters of space, most of which is occupied by a number of galleries, as well as private halls and utilities.
The building is located on Queen's Island, a piece of land at the entrance to Belfast Bay that was freed from water in the mid-19th century. It was used for many years by shipbuilders Harland and Wolf, who built huge slipways and dry docks to accommodate the simultaneous construction of the Olympic and Titanic. The decline of shipbuilding in Belfast left much of the area abandoned. Most of the abandoned structures on the island were destroyed. Some have received list building status, including the slipways and dry docks of the Olympic and Titanic, as well as the iconic Samson and Goliath cranes[1].
The abandoned land was renamed the "Titanic Quarter" in 2001 and was intended for reconstruction by Harland and Wolf over a ten-year period[2]. The 100 hectare area was subsequently purchased by Fred Olsen for £46 million,[3] with another 23 hectares set aside for the science park. An additional 78 hectares were sold by Harland & Wolff in 2002 to be used for new developments, including residences, hotels and leisure services, as well as a maritime heritage museum and science center[4]. Plans were announced in 2005 to build a museum dedicated to the Titanic to attract tourists to the area, with plans for completion by 2011 to celebrate the centenary of the Titanic's launch.[5]
A number of ideas have been put forward to attract visitors. Among the ideas considered were the reconstruction of the massive steel portals in which the Olympic and Titanic were built,[5] or the construction of an illuminated outline of the Titanic's frame in the dock from which it was launched[6]. In June 2008, information was announced about the £64 million project - known at the time as the Titanic Dock[7]. Northern Ireland Tourism Minister Arlene Foster announced that the Northern Ireland Cabinet will provide 50 percent of the funding through the Northern Ireland Tourism Board, with the remaining 50 percent coming from the private sector Titanic Quarter Limited and the Belfast Harbor Commissioners. Additional funding was pledged to Belfast. The task of attracting visitors was entrusted to the charitable organization Titanic Foundation, which seeks to "educate people about the social, historical, industrial and maritime heritage of Belfast through the history of the Titanic" [8].
The building, now known as the Titanic Belfast, is expected to attract 400,000 visitors a year, of which 130,000-165,000 will come from outside Northern Ireland. It is supposed to serve a similar function as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, as a center for the rebirth of the city[8]. This is part of the Titanic Restoration of Significance project associated with the Titanic legacy in the Titanic Quarter, including the abandoned Harland and Wolff headquarters and drawing offices, Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line ship, and Hamilton Dock, Titanic Dock, pump station and stocks of "Olympic" and "Titanic" [9].
