In the heart of the city of Derby is a building that represents the heritage of creative manufacture in the region, past, present, and future 鈥� be it the mills from the forefront of the industrial revolution that stretch north up the Derwent Valley, or closer to the city itself and its industry of planes, trains, and automobiles. To attempt to interpret all of this in a museum is no easy feat and one that required a new way of thinking. The chosen location for the museum was the site of what is believed聽 to have been the world鈥檚 first mechanised factory 鈥� a former silk mill, rebuilt in the late 19th century.聽聽
