It is a place to discover the story of Buxton, from its beginnings in the Ice Age through to life in the modern world with new exhibitions showcasing the Wonders of the Peak and the history inside the Peak Districts caves and caverns.
The museum is currently shut but see who you can recognise in these pictures going back to the 2000s.
