House of Manannan, History museum in Peel, Isle of Man.
The House of Manannan is a museum in a converted railway station building focused on the history and culture of the island. The exhibition shows the past through life-size models, authentic objects, and recreated rooms from different periods.
The museum building was originally a railway station built in the 1870s and later converted into a cultural center. The renovation gave the old structure a completely new purpose and made it a place for understanding local history.
The exhibits show how people on the island lived with the sea over time, through objects and scenes that represent their daily life. Visitors see the role the port played in Peel's life and how residents depended on fishing and trade.
The museum is easy to find in central Peel and accessible for visitors with different mobility needs. It is best to check current opening hours before visiting, as these can vary by season.
The museum displays a replica of a Viking longship that ancient seafarers might have sailed. This impressive reconstruction gives visitors a sense of how sailors lived and traveled back then.
