Museum Day Hours of Operation: 9:00 am ‐ 5:00 pm
The museum traces the 50-million-year history of the horse. Priceless artifacts and special exhibits showcase the variety of horse breeds and disciplines available today.
Permanent museum exhibitions highlight the history of the horse from ancient times to the many popular sporting events of modern times.
Self-produced blockbuster exhibitions such as “All the Queen’s Horses: The Role of the Horse in British History;” “Imperial China: The Art of the Horse in Chinese History;”, and “A Gift from the Desert: the Art, Culture and History of the Arabian Horse,” provide a distinctive glimpse into subjects where the horse has been especially significant in shaping human history. Contemporary art exhibitions focus on the talents of equine artists around the globe and give talented local equine artists much needed exposure to a worldwide audience.
