Get Involved

We offer volunteering opportunities to excite, challenge and intrigue.  Meaningful co-production opportunities are at the heart of all we do and by working alongside our brilliant team of Volunteer Co-producers, we create inspiring museums built with, and for, the people of Derby.

From regular, longer-term volunteering opportunities to micro-challenges that could take just minutes of your time: every minute you give makes a difference.

Be mUSeum: Together we make Derby Museums.
