  • To Anthon Van Rappard. the Hague, on Or About Sunday, 22 October 1882
    To Anthon van Rappard. The Hague, on or about Sunday, 22 October 1882. on or about Sunday, 22 October 1882 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b8349 V/2006 Date: In De brieven 1990 this letter is dated on or about 29 October 1882, which results in a very high density of letters to Van Rappard in the last days of October. Moreover, it leads to the strange situation that, at a time when Van Gogh and Van Rappard are corresponding with great frequency about illustrations, for four weeks (roughly from the end of September to the end of October) no letters pass between them. This is why we have placed the letter a little earlier in October. Van Gogh wrote on or about 23 September that within 14 days (perhaps even sooner) he expected to have a collection of prints in his possession (letter 268, ll. 49-50). The postscript in letter 274 of 22 October shows that by then he had received the new woodcuts, whereas in letter 272 of 15 October he doesnt yet mention them, so we assume that the acquisition came into his hands in the intervening week. The obvious conclusion is that the list of monograms in the present letter was drawn up wholly or partly because of this acquisition. Whether this was done after Sunday, 22 October (and thus before or after letter 274) is impossible to determine, but it must have been around then, so we date the letter to on or about Sunday, 22 October.

  • Derby Museums Collections Development Policy 2014
    Derby Museums Collections Development Policy 2014 Name of museum: Derby Museums (comprising Derby Museum and Art Gallery, The Silk Mill and Pickford’s House) Name of governing body: Derby Museums Trust Date on which this policy was approved by governing body: November 2014 Policy review procedure: The collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, at least once every five years. Date at which this policy is due for review: 2019 Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of collections. 1. Relationship to other relevant policies/plans of the organisation: 1.1. The museum’s statement of purpose is: The vision for Derby Museums is to shape the way in which Derby is understood, the way in which the city projects itself, the way in which people from all places are inspired to see themselves as the next generation of innovators, makers and creators. The purpose of Derby Museums is to inspire people to become part of a living story of world class creativity, innovation and making. 1.2. The governing body will ensure that both acquisition and disposal are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3. By definition, the museum has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. The governing body therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in the museum’s collection.

This catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings, watercolours and oil sketches, placed more or less in chronological order, ranging in date from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century. Although the areas of Old Master drawings, early British watercolours, 19th Century drawings and Modern drawings have long been regarded as disparate fields, each with their own enthusiasts, part of the purpose of this annual catalogue is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas.

  • Derby Museums Trust Annual Report, April 2013-June 2014 Prepared by Tony Butler July 2014
    A report of Derby Museums Trust April 2013 – June 2014 Derby Museums Trust Annual Report, April 2013-June 2014 Prepared by Tony Butler July 2014 1 A report of Derby Museums Trust April 2013 – June 2014 2 A report of Derby Museums Trust April 2013 – June 2014 Foreword Derby Museums Trust operates three museums, Derby Museum and Art Gallery, Pickford’s House and Derby Silk Mill. It cares for the collections of cultural heritage on behalf of Derby City Council. Derby has unique cultural assets. The Silk Mill is the site of the world’s first factory and is in the Derwent Valley UNESCO World Heritage site. Derby Museums has the world’s largest and most outstanding collection of work by Joseph Wright of Derby, the 18th century artist of Enlightenment and is ‘Designated’ by Arts Council England as a collection of national significance. Derby’s identity was 300 years in the making, and the Enlightenment spirit of creativity and invention resonates today. The city confidently positions itself as one of the UK’s principle centres for manufacturing and sustainable engineering. In our museums we vaunt great men such as Joseph Wright, the polymath Erasmus Darwin and the clockmaker John Whitehurst. Their curiousness and desire to unlock the wonders of the universe inspired more practical men of industry such as Richard Arkwright to harness nature for manufacturing. Yet unlike the 18th century, when only those of means were able to feel the pleasure of discovery, we want all our communities to learn new things and explore their creativity. We believe the best museum is a place of encounters.
