The Isle of Man is a center of art and culture that dates back many hundreds of years. Explore the island’s numerous art galleries, such as the Sayle Gallery located in Douglas, which hosts an array of different and unique exhibitions from fine art to film. You can also visit the Isle Gallery, an art gallery run by local artists in the town of St. Johns.
While staying in your Isle of Man vacation rental in Douglas, it's easy to enjoy an evening out at the theater. Visit the island’s most amazing performance art location, the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theater, a classy and beautifully built theater dating back to the late 19th century. While in Douglas, check out another Victorian attraction, the Great Union Camera Obscura. This enormous camera was a wonder for Victorian tourists, and still is for many people today. It gives views of the surrounding area which is projected onto a circular table showing a 360 degree view of Douglas harbour, the lighthouse and horizon.
If you decide to book your Isle of Man vacation home in Peel, the Nautical Museum is well worth a visit. Great for families, the museum hosts Peggy of Castletown, a boat built in 1751 that is the oldest surviving Manx yacht, and one of the overall surviving vessels of the 18th century.
