Description

Be among the first to see the iconic Lara Croft statue as it makes a special temporary appearance at the Museum of Making. 

Ahead of its permanent installation at Derby Market Hall, the 9ft statue will be on display at the Museum of Making for a limited 'First Look' preview while preparations are completed for its new home.

To mark the occasion, The River Kitchen will be serving a special Tomb Raider-themed menu, including Lara Croft's favourite food, beans on toast. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a bite to eat while getting a first glimpse of Derby's newest cultural attraction.

Dates available to visit during the Tomb Raider 30th Anniversary (TR30) weekend celebrations are as follows:

Wednesday 21 October
Thursday 22 October
Sunday 25 October

Please note that the Museum of Making will be closed to the public on Friday 23 October and Saturday 24 October due to a private event.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to see the Lara Croft statue before it takes up permanent residence at Derby Market Hall, celebrating 30 years of one of Derby's most famous gaming success stories.

Please check the Museum of Making website for current opening times before travelling.
