Belfast unveils birth-to-death story of Titanic

In this photo dated March 25 2012, the Titanic House Vistor Centre is reflected on Belfast Lough, Northern Ireland. The £100 million (119.5 million euros; $158 million dollars) building is now finished and will open to the public on March 31. The world's biggest Titanic visitor attraction is to open in its Belfast birthplace later this month and it is 100 years to the day since the doomed ocean liner was completed in the same shipyard, Harland and Wolff. Northern Ireland hopes the eye-catching building will boost the tourism economy.
