Manx Museum, National museum in Douglas, Isle of Man.
The Manx Museum spans 10,000 years of history through detailed galleries containing archaeological findings, natural specimens, and cultural artifacts from the Isle of Man.
Established in 1922 within the former Noble's Hospital building, the museum emerged from the Manx Museum and Ancient Monuments Act of 1886 to preserve island heritage.
The National Art Gallery section displays works by local artists, while the Viking Gallery contains the largest collection of Norse silver objects in the British Isles.
The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM with free admission, and includes research facilities through the National Library and Archives section.
The museum houses exhibits about the Tynwald, which holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous parliament in existence, dating back over 1,000 years.
