Derby Museum opened in 1879. Since then the museum has collected many thousands of items. Some of these are on display but there is not room to show everything. The collection is varied. There are wonderful things and ordinary things. All of them have a historic value to the people of Derby and beyond.

From here you can begin to explore these objects. Currently only a small number can be found here but over time more will be added. One day it is hoped that all will accessible in a virtual format.

If there is an object that you like which you have seen before, or that you know that the museum has in the collection, why not contact us and we will include it as part of the Treasures of Derby.

We are grateful to Renaissance East Midlands and
Derby and Derbyshire Economic Partnership for the
support in the development of Treasures of Derby
