Horse
For Educators: The Horse
The Horse examines the powerful and continuing relationship between the horse and humans. The exhibition explores the origins of the horse family, extending back over more than 50 million years. Examine early interactions between horses and humans that led to horse domestication and see how horses have, over time, changed warfare, trade, transportation, agriculture, sports, and many other facets of human life.
The Horse showcases spectacular fossils and cultural objects from around the world, including many from the Museum's extraordinary collections. This exhibition will include videos, computer interactives, hands-on activities, and touchable casts.
