Our programme follows in the footsteps of Derby’s thinkers and makers from the Enlightenment period who were driven by curiosity, passion for knowledge and acquisition of skills.

Art, Nature and Science illuminate the world and foster the creativity needed to solve problems and design solutions. From global industries to individual crafts people. Derby is a City with Making at its heart.

Across 3 culturally significant sites, we use our collections to better understand the world around us and shape the innovators of tomorrow.
