A wonderful museum and art gallery - as well as a permanent exhibition about Joseph Wright, when I visited they had the full exhibition of his work, which had been on loan to the National Gallery in London. That exhibition was £14 in London - but completely free in Derby. The staff are very friendly, good coffee shop, and excellent exhibits. This museum is part of a set of three museums (all free) in Derby, and all well worth a visit.

Very interesting. Love the collection. Very nice cafetaria for having a good local meal for lunch. The archaeology is inspiring. Especially for me is the Roman period. Amazing finds. Also the geology they discovered around Derby.

A really lovely museum where the kids (and I) and had a really lovely couple of hours. It has lots of different exhibitions and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Especially the lady who I encountered on the front desk who made the museum visit extra special for my youngest who is autistic. Thank you for a lovely visit and some really lovely staff. Thank you so much x

I really enjoyed my visit to Derby Museum. The archaeology section was full of interesting pieces and told the stories in a way that was easy to follow. The highlight for me was definitely Joseph Wright’s paintings, they were displayed beautifully and felt really special to see in person. The museum itself is easy to get around and has a nice mix of history and art. A great place to spend an afternoon.

Didn't know what a gem this was! Free entry for this place is mad. It has so much to see. There was art, taxidermy, ceramics, history of war room. A cafe on the ground floor too. So much to see and can easily spend a good hour or two here. The staff were pleasant and helpful, too.
