HELLO

Welcome to Derby Museums!

The last six months there has been great acti vity at the Museum and Art Gallery. In May we opened the Joseph Wright Insti tute, a combined gallery and research space enabling everyone to get close to our fabulous collecti ons of work by Joseph Wright of Derby. Virtually all of the material we hold by the arti st including prints, drawing and oil painti ng are now accessible to the public.

The opening of the Insti tute coincided with our hosti ng of the exhibiti on ‘Joseph Wright of Derby: Bath and Beyond,’ which conti nues unti l August 31. From September we’ll be hosti ng an exhibiti on of sculpture by Denis O’Connor in which he discusses the noti on of displacement and home. Originally from Ireland, Denis has lived in Derby for over 25 years and this exhibiti on is a personal explorati on of feelings of belonging and longing.

We are conti nuing our conversati ons with our visitors about developments to the new Nature Gallery. This summer there will be plenty of opportuniti es for you to contribute ideas and new perspecti ves to this project through our Nature Lab and workshops.Displays at Pickford’s House are being refreshed and central to this is a new exhibiti on of Lost Landscapes of Derby, watercolours from the collecti on amassed by Alfred Goodey. The pictures provide a glimpse of Derby through industrialisati on, war, fi re, and fl ood over two centuries.

At the Silk Mill we are conti nuing to inspire the next generati on of makers through our collecti ons and stories of making and getti ng hands on using our digital manufacturing equipment in the Silk Mill workshop.

If all this culture seems exhausti ng you’ll now be able to relax in The Coff ee House amidst the displays of Derby porcelain, which opened in mid-June at the Museum and Art Gallery.Here at Derby Museums, we can provide enlightenment for the mind and refreshment for the body!

Joseph Wright of Derby: Bath and Beyond

unti l 31 AugustMuseum & Art GalleryFREE

Joseph Wright ‘of Derby’ (1734-1797) lived and worked in Bath between November 1775 and June 1777. This brief and litt le-known episode in Wright’s life marked a crossroads in his career, yet it has never been explored in detail. ‘Joseph Wright of Derby: Bath and Beyond’ will place Wright in the context of the many arti sts, musicians, writers, business people and scienti sts living and working in the Georgian spa town and present for the fi rst ti me a comprehensive view of his life and work duringthose eighteen months.

Wright Inspired

Museum & Art GalleryFREE

Joseph Wright’s work has long proven a rich source of inspirati on for arti sts and makers. This exhibiti on brings together rarely seen painti ngs from our stores to trace the history of this fascinati on. Works by students from Burton College and Borrow Wood Primary School refl ect the perspecti ves of a new generati on of arti sts.

Defi ning a Line: New Sculpture by Denis O’connor

20 September-23 NovemberMuseum & Art GalleryFREE

Denis O’Connor’s small-scale steel sculptures reference the noti ons of ‘home’ and ‘displacement’ and are infl uenced by over 25 years of journeying between his homes in Derbyshire and Ireland. The new work plays with scale and creates a tension between the diff erent sculptural forms, communicati ng opposites such as stable and unstable, comfortable and uncomfortable, real and unreal. Each of these scenarios tries to address noti ons of belonging, identi ty and home, using recognisable domesti c objects such as chairs, ladders and houses.

Highlights from the alfred goodey collection of Old Derby Pictures

from 12 JulyPickford’s House FREE

Between 1936 and 1945, local art collector Alfred Goodey donated over 600 pictures of old Derby to the Museum and Art Gallery. Spanning three centuries, this incredible collecti on off ers an unrivalled glimpse of the city through development, industrialisati on, war, fi re, and fl ood.

This exhibiti on is the fi rst of a series dedicated to Goodey’s collecti on, and features works by many of Derby’s celebrated local arti sts, including Alfred John Keene, Harold Gresley, and Ernest Townsend.
