Come and learn all about Nottinghamshire’s industrial heritage at Nottingham Industrial Museum. Our fascinating collection explores our rich industrial history from Tudor mines to textile Lace, from penny farthing bikes to the world’s first video recorder.

We open every weekend (plus Bank Holidays from Easter to Late Summer). And can’t wait to welcome you to five galleries of objects reflecting local industries such as mining, railways, bicycles, motorcycles, lace, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, and printing. Not to mention our unique collection of working steam and diesel engines.

Our magnificent Basford Beam pumping engine waits to greet you as you enter the Steam Hall. Venture further in, and travel back to an age when steam and diesel engines powered the nation’s factories. Our Transport Gallery tells the story of some of the companies and people who shaped advances in transport. You will find familiar names like Raleigh, Humber, Campion and Brough. Come and see the development of Nottingham’s textile industry.

As part of the industrial revolution, Nottingham inventors and entrepreneurs sought a way of producing lace that everyone could buy and they completely changed the nature of the industry.

Volunteers manage the museum, set up the events, and make your visit special. You will find us in the Stable Block of Wollaton Hall and Deer Park Courtyard, near to the cafe.

From Nottingham train station there are one of two buses that connect the city centre with Wollaton Park: No 30 (the Pink Line, stopping at the park gates on Wollaton Road) and No 35.
