The National Art Gallery has been designed to take
visitors on a journey into our art collection, with stories
behind the artworks or their artists told along the way. We
have included an area dedicated to how we care for the
collections, and have included some pieces that are in
poor condition but are salvageable through highly
specialist conservation work. We wanted to explore with
our visitors the reality of caring for and exhibiting an
historic art collection. We have also created a dark room
within the gallery, which will enable visitors to see some
artworks that are too light sensitive to be displayed in a
typical gallery setting”.
Manx National Heritage would like to thank the Friends
of Manx National Heritage who generously funded the
ambitious conservation and reframing project, and the
Isle of Man Steam Packet Company who assisted with the
transportation of artworks needing conservation to and
from the UK.
The Manx Museum is open daily, 9:30am – 4:30pm and
is free to enter. Donations are welcome. To explore all the
artworks on display in the National Art Gallery please
