The new space is being fitted with an upgraded alarm system, lighting and decoration to make it suitable for a small museum and art gallery, complete with a gift shop and activity room. The museum team are considering potential exhibitions, events and ways BMAG can support the local community, and are getting very excited about operating a visitor-facing service again. Admission will remain free.
The new mini BMAG will be open from spring 2026. Suggestions about what you would like to see included in the new service are always welcome. You can email buxton.museum@derbyshire.gov.uk or telephone: 01629 533540 or leave a comment on one of BMAG's websites or social media platforms.
Alongside planning for the temporary building, Derbyshire Museums Manager Martha Jasko-Lawrence and our colleagues continue to have regular meetings with High Peak Borough Council about securing a permanent home for BMAG in the middle of town. Work will shortly get underway on assessing potential audiences for the planned permanent venue, and opportunities for retail and commercial elements, and this work will support future funding.
