Well worth the visit. They've done an excellent job with several different sections. Downstairs is the history of an explosion from two ships that collided in 1917 that destroyed Halifax. Upstairs is a maritime museum and a separate section dedicated to the Titanic. Lots of signage where you take a self-guided tour. Also downstairs (before you enter the museum) is a hardware ship chandlery. The curator was very knowledgeable answering our every question. Sorry I only took a few misc pictures.

After sweating it out waiting in line for 45 minutes to get past the security check that Everyone has to go through... The actual crowd inside the Basilica was not that bad. With the Not That Bad crowd (some shoulder to shoulder areas), you could take your time to view the beauty of the Sistine Chapel.
