Derby Museums What's On Guide March - June 2020

What’s On March - June 2020 derbymuseums.org

HELLO The new decade will be a watershed for Derby Museums. Next September we will open the Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill, celebrating 300 years of making in our city.

The museum has been made by local people with over 1,500 community volunteers contributing 25,000 hours to inspire a new generation of makers.

In the run-up, there will be plenty to see and do in Derby's other museums.

We are celebrating 200 years since the birth of Florence Nightingale and her connections with Derbyshire with an exhibition at Pickford's House that explores Florence’s theories for managing health in the home.

Our summer exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery will feature works from renowned illustrator Quentin Blake and author John Yeoman. Blake's work is familiar to all generations, accompanying Roald Dahl's greatest books for children and David Walliams' modern classics.

In the summertime, visitors to Derby should look out for the Derby Ram Trail; a free arts trail around the city centre with 30 colourful ram sculptures to explore, each sponsored by a local business. Funds raised through the event will contribute to Derby Museums’ Endowment, helping to secure the city's cultural heritage for the future.

Richard Mayson: Lowry’s Lamps Monday 1 June, 6.30-7.30pm Museum & Art Gallery £8 per ticket, available from 8th April at: derbybookfestival.co.uk When we think of the paintings of LS Lowry RBA RA, it’s the people and their industrial setting that come to mind. But the detail of his paintings reveals far more and he used street furniture to brilliant effect: lamp-posts, telegraph poles, flag poles, fences all form an important part of Lowry’s busy industrial scenes. Richard Mayson comes from Lowry’s home-village of Mottramin-Longdendale and has a life-long passion for street lamps and street furniture.

Who was the real Wallis Simpson: an opportunistic American social climber, a master manipulator or the true love of Edward’s life? Anna Pasternak’s new book is the first ever to give Wallis a voice to show that she was a warm, loyal, intelligent woman, adored by her friends, written off by cunning, influential Establishment men seeking to diminish her and destroy her reputation. Far from being the villain of the abdication, she was the victim.

In October 1726, newspapers began reporting a remarkable event: in Godalming, Surrey a woman called Mary Toft had started to give birth to rabbits.

By December that year, after having been examined by doctors, she had been accused of fraud and taken into custody. Karen Harvey has based her book on extensive new archival research. The case of Mary Toft exposes huge social and cultural changes allowing us to reflect critically on our own ideas about pregnancy, reproduction, and the body through the lens of the past.
