Derby is a quiet city northeast of Birmingham in Derbyshire. Home to one of Europe's best 18th-century painters, Joseph Wright, visitors can view the largest collection of his paintings in the world at the Derby Museum & Art Gallery. Derby's Cathedral Quarter is the city's cultural hub, and Derby Cathedral is its most significant historical building. The cathedral holds the tomb of Bess of Hardwick, the Countess of Shrewsbury. The cathedral's set of ten bells is among the oldest in the world still in use. Travelers will also find bars and restaurants, specialty stores, the Derby QUAD arts center and cinema, and Déda performing arts center in the Cathedral Quarter.
