Museum of Making
Description
The museum is housed in a former silk mill, on the site of what is widely regarded to be the first fully mechanised factory in the world. The museum charts the history of manufacturing and making in the city and surrounding area from the original silk mills of the Derwent Valley to the modern high tech manufacturing of trains at Alstom, cars at Toyota, and the engines that power some of the worlds best selling jets at Rolls Royce Engines.
