MEMBER: Chesterfield Museum & Art Gallery

Chesterfield Museum tells the Story of Chesterfield, from its beginnings as a Roman fort on Ryknield Street to the building of the 'Crooked Spire' Church and its growth as a market town.

The Museum also explores the town's industrial heritage, tracing the development of coal mining and local industries. Chesterfield's most famous Victorian resident, George Stephenson, the 'Father of the Railways' is also featured.

Children can follow a trail around the Museum and make discoveries of their own. Call at Easter, over the summer holidays and at Christmas for our special trails.

Education boxes and memory boxes can be hired from the Museum - give us a call to find out more.

Entry is free and there is a varied programme of exhibitions and events.

*Chesterfield Museum is currently closed as part of a multi-million-pound renovation and reimagining project to Stephenson Memorial Hall. You can find out more about the project as well as the programme of online activities and pop-up events being planned via the website www.chesterfield.gov.uk/museum*
