Whether your main reason for visiting the Isle of Man is to enjoy countryside walks, explore the island by bike, or experience the excitement of the annual TT races, no visit is complete without a trip to the Manx Museum in Douglas.
With an impressive collection of artefacts, treasures and exhibitions, the Manx Museum brings more than 10,000 years of Manx history to life. It is an ideal starting point for discovering the island and understanding its unique heritage.
Entry is free, and the museum is home to the national art gallery, a Viking gallery featuring gold and silver artefacts, the national library and archive, and exhibitions exploring every aspect of Manx history and culture.
Open Monday to Saturday throughout the year, the museum is a great way to begin a Manx holiday. Its central location in Douglas also makes it a convenient stop before travelling further afield, whether heading north towards Laxey on the electric railway or south towards Port Erin on the famous steam railway.
Visitors to the Isle of Man can purchase a Manx National Holiday Pass which gives unlimited entry into all Manx National Heritage attractions for up to 14 days. Click here to buy your Manx National Heritage pass.
