Derbyshire Museums

Do volunteers support your organisation or project? A nomination for @Ecclesiastical's Heritage Heroes Awards, run by @Heritage_NGOs, can help volunteers to feel valued and proud of their contribution & the process helps organisations deepen their understanding of that value.

Did you know it is #WorldHelloDay #today? The task is to greet ten people or more. This demonstrates the importance of personal #communication for preserving #Peace. You can be sure of a warm #greeting when you visit @CrichTramway next season.

With rising costs of living, we have opted to open as a Warm Welcome Space daily from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Enjoy a warm, welcoming, historical environment with a complimentary hot drink when you mention warm spaces.

We are proud to be mentioned in @AmyLShakespeare's article on #repatriation in this month's @MuseumsAssoc journal. Lots of us have done really positive work on returning objects, despite the national narrative.
