What visitors say
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.

My second time to the gallery and I'm very glad to see the Wright of Derby Exhibition, see the 2 most famous paintings of his reunited in Derby, as well as some other works from private collections!

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.

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
