==History==
▲The museum can trace its start to the formation of the ''Derby Town and County Museum and Natural History Society'' on 10 February 1836. The society was housed by Full Street Public Baths but it was a private society funded by its member's subscriptions. Its collections were created by donations initially from Dr Forrester who had been a President of [[Derby Philosophical Society]]. The patron of the Museum Society was [[William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire]], and the President was [[Sir George Harpur Crewe, 8th Baronet|Sir George Crewe]] who was a keen naturalist.<ref name="geo"/> Col. [[George Gawler]] contributed a collection of minerals and exotic stuffed birds which included an albatross from his time as governor in South Australia.<ref name=glover>{{cite book|last=Glover|first=Stephen|title=The history and directory of the borough of Derby, a guide p.430|year=1829|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qu0GAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA58#v=onepage&q&f=false}}</ref> and in 1839 there was a major exhibition at the Mechanic's institute which contained many items including those from [[Joseph Strutt (philanthropist)|Joseph Strutt]]'s collection. Many of these made their way into Derby museum's collection.<ref name="goodeys"/> The society moved in 1840 to the Atheneum in Victoria Street.

Derby was significant in the eighteenth century for its role in the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], a period in which science and philosophy challenged the [[divine right of kings]] to rule. The enlightenment has many strands, including the largely philosophical "Scottish enlightenment" centred around the philosopher David Hume, and political changes that culminated in the [[French revolution]], but the English Midlands was an area where many key figures of industry and science came together. The famous Lunar Society. included [[Erasmus Darwin]], [[Matthew Boulton]], [[Joseph Priestley]] and [[Josiah Wedgwood]] with [[Benjamin Franklin]] corresponding from America<ref>[http://jquarter.members.beeb.net/morelunar.htm Lunar], jquarter.members.beeb.net</ref> Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of [[Charles Darwin]]; started the Derby Philosophical Society when he moved to Derby in 1783. It was this society which helped to found the first library in Derby.
Erasmus Darwin has only a small display. [[Herbert Spencer]], friend of Charles Darwin, and originator of the phase "the survival of the fittest", who was born in Derby, and has been described as the founder of [[sociology]]<ref>[http://www.derbyshireuk.net/spencer.html Spencer], derbyshireuk.net</ref> does not appear to be mentioned at all.
