We tell the stories of the famous village of Eyam, including its experience of plague in 1665-1666, and its wider social history and industrial heritage. Go to our Exhibitions page to find out more.

We are an independent museum, Accredited by Arts Council England. We were founded in 1989, and opened in the present site in 1994.
