ISLE OF MAN MOTOR MUSEUM OPENING OUR ISLE OF MAN TT MUSEUM IN MAY 2018
We are pleased to announce that our Isle of Man TT Museum will be opened within the Isle of Man Motor Museum in Jurby on Friday 25th May. We are honoured that the official opening will be performed by Gary Thompson MBE BEM, Clerk of the TT Course and General Secretary of the Auto-Cycle Union.
As part of this exciting new development, the Museum team will be increasing the number of motorcycles on display from 200 to almost 400 through the creation of a Wall of Bikes and other new displays. TT Memorabilia is being displayed throughout the Museum, on the walls and in our specially designed toolbox display cabinets. A replica of an iconic Marshals Hut from the Mountain has also been created to pay tribute to the Marshals without whom the TT could not occur. We also very privileged to showcase the collection of Bob McIntyre — the first rider to complete a lap at over 100mph average speed.
Just as the Isle of Man Motor Museum continually evolves and changes, so too will our Isle of Man TT Museum. We ask all TT fans and collectors to please let us know what gems you have hidden in your garage, shed, attic, drawer or under the bed which could help us make the Museum even more spectacular. We also appeal to motorcycle collectors who have machines that they may wish to display to please contact us.
Our volunteers always love sharing stories with our visitors and hearing them recount their own experiences of the TT. If this would interest you, then please ask us about volunteering at the Museum.
Darren Cunningham, Director of the Isle of Man Motor Museum said “This is a very exciting time for all of the team at the Isle of Man Motor Museum and we are extremely proud to be able to showcase the 110 years of motorsport history behind the world’s ultimate road race.”
