San Diego Natural History Museum

"This exhibition combines a variety of wonderful artifacts from around the globe with current research and vivid images to tell the story of man's and horse's intertwined history and continuing relationship," said Michael L. Hager, Ph.D., Executive Director of the San Diego Natural History Museum.

The San Diego Natural History Museum is a binational scientific institution focusing on the region from Point Conception south of Santa Barbara to Cabo San Lucas at the southernmost tip of Baja California. Through research we strive to understand this region's biodiversity, both past and present, and through education and exhibitions we hope to inspire in all a passion for understanding and preserving this unique region. Founded in 1874, the San Diego Natural History Museum is the second-oldest scientific institution in California, third-oldest west of the Mississippi. Through the leadership of its core group of citizen-scientists, the Society of Natural History influenced the establishment of the Torrey Pines State Reserve, the Anza-Borrego State Park, the San Diego Zoological Society, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The San Diego Natural History Museum was recently selected as the most family-friendly museum in San Diego, offering myriad events and activities, and appealing to San Diego visitors of all ages.
