This is a fantastic museum which provides much information on the Islands' history and character. The building itself has been renovated - making it a very comfortable environment to enjoy (all ages catered for). On a wet/windy/cold day, its the perfect haven and the coffee/snack shop (reminders of Charles Rennie Macintosh styling) sells well-priced snacks and meals to accommodate all... More

This is a fantastic museum and completely free entry. There are interactive displays, lots of exhibits and artwork and is great for all ages.

We made the most of the free half day before flying back to the mainland by visiting this gem of a museum which is set high above the the Douglas promenade and is accessed by a footbridge overlooking the resort. There are many interesting facets to this place including a section on the TT races , a great transport section... More

A very good museum for a general history of the Island, and also for family history as you get free access to the records, and the i-museum. The staff were very helpful, and there is convenient parking for the museum with a multi-storey car park joining onto it. There is also a cafe and shop within the museum.

This museum houses a fine collection of artifacts from pre-historic times through the Viking era, the Civil War and the First & Second World Wars when the Island housed many internees.It also houses the Manx art Collection. Through out the year it holds special exhibitions ie during TT.

Brilliant. A must for visitors. Follow signs to car park in Douglas. Tricky if naughty people have switched the signs around. Definately not to be missed. Exceptional exhibition. A credit to the Island.

A nice well laid out museum but set in an hilly part of Douglas and once inside has many stairs, worth a visit if you are fit!
