Visiting Tynwald Museum
The story of Man is not completely without a look at this small museum,
though not an official site it is well worth visiting. The Tynwald site
model is very well done and gives a glimpse of what the area looks like
when the tent for Tynwald Day is up. The large aerial view photograph
gives a complete look of the site, which might not otherwise be
appreciated. For those with a little imagination, try out the same formal
red chairs guests of honour use when they attend the proceedings on Tynwald
Day.
