Derby Museum and Art Gallery
Derby Museum and Art Gallery er (som navnet antyder) et museum i Derby, England. Museet blev etableret i 1879, sammen med Derby Central Library, i en ny bygning tegnet af Richard Knill Freeman og foræret til byen af Michael Thomas Bass. Samlingen omfatter et galleri med tegninger af Joseph Wright of Derby; det er også en afdeling for Royal Crown Derby og andet porcelæn fra Derby og omegn. Desuden er der samlinger for arkæologi, heriblandt Hanson-stammebåden, naturhistorie, geologi og militær. Kunstgalleriet åbnede i 1882.
Kunstsamleren Alfred E. Goodey[1] samlede på værker af Derby Sketching Clubs medlemmer og gav i 1940'erne sin samling til Derby Museum and Art Gallery.

Derby Museum Being in Derby last Sunday for the Thanksgiving service for Bess of Hardwick, it seemed an excellent opportunity to visit this art gallery with its collection of Joseph Wright paintings - and excellent it was too.
