Built in the 13th century, 'Swarkestone Bridge' is still the longest stone bridge in England!

This famous Scheduled Ancient Monument was a battle site during the English Civil War and the furthest south Bonnie Prince Charlie got to London.🌉

#TravelTuesday 🛤️

A paper trail of cuttings from the 1920s describing “magnificent rosewood bookcases inlaid with brass and ebony from the collection of Louis Napoleon' led us to this label.📜✂️

Stuck on a case in the #BoydDawkinsStudy , they travelled by Goods Train in 1857.🚂🗳️

#NationalGardeningDay 🌻

Not everyone can claim to have a hedge maze in their back garden... unless you live at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry or indeed, Elvaston Castle🍃

The Maze at Elvaston Castle is a 19th century #watercolour by Geroge Robert Vawser(1815-1893)🎨

Before the #Museum took up residence on Terrace Road, the #PeakHydropathicHotel was at home here. 🏚️

Remains of some of the ceramic wall tiles from the hotel sit safe in the #Museum Store, including these animal transfer designs. We've spotted cats and kittens for #Caturday . 😻

We love this beautiful cherry blossom detail from 'Lake Scene I'. 🌸

This #watercolour reminds us of #Hanami (flower viewing), the traditional Japanese custom of celebrating and enjoying the transient beauty of the blossoms that blanket #Japan each year. 🖌️🌸

If you stroll through Beacon Fell Country Park, Lancashire, you may happen upon this ethereal 'Spirit of the Woods'.👣

James Shelliker's other-worldly carving of the #GreenMan belongs in an enchanted woodland.🍃

It's #ExploreYourArchiveDay and we spotted this gem in our #MuseumStore .🔎📜

Written by Tom Tomlinson, this leaflet focuses on the history of North Lees Hall, Hathersage. Interestingly, Charlotte Bronte visited in 1845 and was inspired to create Jane Eyre's 'Thornfield Hall.📕✍️

We were surprised to learn about #NationalUnicornDay 🦄 but it gives us a great excuse to show off this Royal Coat of Arms!

Some of our visitors may recognise this piece, formerly on display in the Wonders of the Peak gallery. It was tricky to spot... being above the fire exit.🧯

We're marking #NationalBeerDay 🍻 with a 20th century throwback. ⏪

This brewery lorry belonging to Scarsdale Ales and Beers was photographed at Rowbottom's Garage, #ChapelEnLeFrith by J.R. Board. 🚛🧴

The snap was part of the #DerbyshireSLS #collection before it disbanded. 📸

#FlashbackFriday ✨

Painted by Lord Essex (1803-1892), this #watercolour captures a bygone scene of Castle Rocks on the #RiverWye . 🌄

As read in the handwritten note below, 'Castle Rocks on Wye - Buxton... 1867 - now blown up to make way for a railway'. ✍️🚂

#Music 🎼 #OnlineArtExchange ✨ @ArtUK🎨

We thought we'd spotted a #Bridgerton but this is actually an 18th century #OilPainting of German composer, Adolf Ganz(1795-1869).

#TravelTuesday 👣

Today, we're joining these traveller's on a fishing trip to the beautiful cascade near #MatlockBath , #Derbyshire . 🎣

This 18th century #FineArt print was engraved for 'The Modern Universal British Traveller'. 🌄

On #NationalCrayonDay we are showcasing this hauntingly beautiful monochrome figure study by renowned #artist , #FrankBrangwyn (1867–1956).

🖍️ Brown Crayon

He was an Official War Artist during #WorldWarOne and 'Soldier Offering Comrade a Drink' was one such scene sketched by him.

#TakeAWalkInTheParkDay 👣🐾

This #watercolour by J.W. Keightley has inspired us to take a stroll along the #SerpentineWalks , #Buxton . 🐍

Painted in 1962, this mid-20th century piece shines a light on the beauty of the Grade II* listed extension to the #PavilionGardens . 🌳🌲🌳🌲

#PhotoFriday 📸

#DYK we have a collection of prints by John Vere Brown(1925- 2000)?

These 23 silver bromide prints are his only known #Derbyshire work. We think they were taken between 1971-1973 when he lived at Ollerenshaw Farm, Chelmorton.❄️

We don't know when this photo was taken, or who by, but this stunning close-up from the #PavilionGardens in #Buxton could be a scene from a #Fairytale or #FantasyNovel ! 📚

It's the perfect spot to spy #fairies , #gnomes and #elves from. 🧚🔺🧝
