Buxton Museum and Art Gallery

Buxton Museum and Art Gallery focuses its collection on history, geology and archaeology primarily from the Peak District and Derbyshire.

The museum is located at Terrace Road, Buxton, England. The museum opens Tuesday to Saturday all year round and from Easter to the end of September is also open on Sunday and Bank Holiday afternoons. Admission is free. The building was erected in 1880 and originally served as the Peak Hydropathic Hotel. During the First World War, the Red Cross used it to care for wounded Canadian soldiers. The Buxton Free Public Library & Museum moved into the building in 1928, leaving the Town Hall.

The museum closed in June 2023 after dry rot was found in structural timbers and floor joists. In May 2024 the council put the building up for sale with the stated intention of displaying the museum's collection at a new location. In January 2025 the former museum building was purchased by Solanki Holdings UK & International. As of February 2025, the museum team is based at Buxton Library where they are running an interim service.
