However, the exhibition goes far beyond the Titanic and also sheds light on the stories of its sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic. In the spacious halls, which cover a total of 12,000 square meters, you can expect a thoughtful mix of interactive exhibitions and historical exhibits - perfect for taking a break from cycling and immersing yourself in the maritime past.
