Reviews of International Museum of the Horse
"Impressively comprehensive and much better than I expected. The museum has lots of high quality exhibits on all sorts of horsey subjects from history to sport to literature. I am not a big horse fan myself, but still had a good time and learned a few things. It’s definitely worth a few hours if you are visiting Lexington. It’s bigger than you would think and even the casual visitor could make a half a day out of the museum and surrounding park."
"Coming from out of town, I was only vaguely aware of the importance of horses to Kentucky and Lexington in general, but learned quite a bit about equines and their history. The negative I think of this is there is A LOT of reading in the museums, to the point where it becomes very hard to pay attention and retain everything."
"The International Horse Museum at the Kentucky Horse Park is a treasure trove for equine enthusiasts and history buffs alike. It offers a captivating journey through the rich and storied history of horses and their significant roles in various cultures and civilizations. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, showcasing art, artifacts, and information that highlight the enduring bond between humans and horses. The museum provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of equestrian sports, horse breeds, and the impact of horses on transportation, agriculture, and warfare. It's an educational and visually stunning experience that deepens one's appreciation for these magnificent creatures. The International Horse Museum is a must-visit, offering a blend of history, art, and the sheer beauty of horses that's both informative and inspiring."
"The museum had an amazing amount of history. It was fun to meet the horses. Even if you don't like horses, it was a great place to visit. Worth every penny."
"Be sure to plan at least 2 hours just for this place. The museum covers every inch of history and information on horses and their impact on our cultures and civilizations. Very informative and entertaining. My favorite part was the trophy cases area, so Shiney."
