About Old House of Keys

The Old House of Keys is the fascinating former home of the Manx Parliament and centre of 19th Century political life on the Isle of Man.

Meet the costumed secretary of this historic building; take a seat in the finely restored debating chamber; watch as the talking head of Mr Speaker and animated portraits of Members of the House come to life! Discover how democracy developed on the Isle of Man. Decide whether women should get the vote. Shout 'aye' for those in favour and 'no' for those against!
