Discover the people, companies and industries that made Nottingham famous around the world. Nottingham Industrial Museum has five galleries each relating to a key Nottinghamshire industry: textiles, transport, communication, mining and power. The museum has many wonderful artefacts and exhibits including a working Basford Beam engine and an original Thomas Humber Bicycle. And they are working to get more artefacts into working condition, so you can admire the local ingenuity and skills that went into Nottingham Lace and other exports.
Nottingham Industrial Museum's collection encourages visitors to investigate Nottinghamshire’s rich industrial heritage. The museum is entirely run by volunteers who are on hand to show you around and answer your questions. Their regular events draw visitors from around the country and the team hope to see you at one soon. The museum welcomes children with regular activities and family oriented tours.
The museum is an ideal part of any visit to Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, where it sits in and behind the 17th century stable block.
Opening hours:
General Entry charges
