Background
History
The museum is located in the former Peel railway station. The original building was built in 1873 and closed in September 1968 with the closure of the Peel line between Douglas and Peel. In 1979 it was used to house Odin's Raven. In 1997 the building was then repurposed and expanded to suit the needs of the museum at a cost of £5.5 million. In 1998, the museum was awarded National Heritage Museum of the Year, an award shared with the Jersey Maritime Museum in St Helier. In recent years, the museum has sadly fallen into disrepair due to lack of maintenance and investment.
