The history of Manx settlers in the American Midwest is to be showcased at a new museum in the United States.
It's housed in a building at the University of Wisconsin in Platteville.
The museum itself features a wide range of Manx artifacts and information, including an electronic version of the Chronicles of Mann, a main entrance built in the style of Peel castle and clay sculptures.
Funding for the museum has come from the Isle of Man government, Manx National Heritage and Manx societies in the Wisconsin, Washington and Minnesota areas.
President of Tynwald Clare Christian is in the States today for the opening ceremony, which takes place during the 51st Biennial North American Manx Convention.
State governor Scott Walker has proclaimed today to be 'Honorable Clare Christian Day' in Wisconsin.
