End of year message
from Tony Butler, Executive Director at Derby Museums
2020 has been a challenging year, but there's also been lots to celebrate. Despite the challenges, we've had fabulous exhibitions, developed fascinating collections and launched some brand new projects. We re-opened in the summer, and have been working hard to keep things going.
We are hugely grateful to all of our supporters, volunteers, Friends and visitors for your time and donations given so generously, helping us to continue to bring all of this to Derby. This year more than ever, your support means the world.
Now we're looking forward to 2021 with the opening of the new Museum of Making and the citywide Derby Ram Trail. Take a look at our end of year review video below to see what we’ve been up to and get a taste of what’s still to come…
If you have enjoyed Derby Museums this year and are able to consider making a donation, this will help us to continue to conserve our heritage and re-open our doors for future generations. All of your generous donations will be matched pound for pound by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Donate here.
