Easy ... museum only about 150 yards from Assembly rooms.

For you I guess you'd come via M1 J25 onto A52.

At first roundabout you meet (The Pentagon) take second turn off to
City Centre.

Keep in left hand lane and take first turn off ( you'll see sign for
Derby Evening Telegraph office ). Road swing around to right and you
go into a dip, At bottom turn into Darwin Place car park.

On foot go back down ramp, turn right, cross over road and turn left
with Exeter Pub on your right.  Cross over river bridge and you'll see
Derby market place in front of you.  Take crossing to right and follow
road past the old police station with scaffolding and blue barriers
towards man on horse. You'll see Silk Mill to your right.

To get out of car park take left most exit which feeds you back onto
A52.
