Manx National Heritage

Originally established in 1886 as the Manx Museum and National Trust, Manx National Heritage operate on behalf of the Manx people to preserve, protect, promote and communicate the unique qualities of the Isle of Man’s natural and cultural heritage.

Manx National Heritage enjoys the full support of the Isle of Man Government and has an independent body of Trustees who operate as a registered charity in the Isle of Man. The national museum collections held by Manx National Heritage are also designated as charitable.

By purchasing a gift through the Manx Heritage Shop you are contributing to our ongoing work in preserving and protecting the Isle of Man’s historic environment and developing our national collections for future generations to enjoy.
