Derby Street Diorama Museum

About the Museum

No story is too small™

The Derby Street Diorama Museum stands as a testament to the power of miniature storytelling. Every exhibit offers the chance to transform everyday objects into gateways to extraordinary realms.

★ Our Story

The museum opened February 8, 2025 following several months of exhibition design that began in summer 2024. The occasion was marked by an informal gala attended by approximately 10 neighbors and esteemed community leaders. Two wines were served.

★ The Philosophy

Some say dioramas allow you to peek into a tiny, separate world, but we believe that dioramas also hold up a mirror to the viewer, allowing one to peer into their own soul. What mysteries and delights is your soul waiting to share?
