EDUCATION RESOURCES
Welcome to the Education page at the International Museum of the Horse! Although the Kentucky Horse Park and International Museum of the Horse are currently closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are hard at work on updating, creating, and providing both teachers and families with resources to use at home.
DIGITAL RESOURCES
We're creating some mini virtual tours! Check them out on YouTube, our social media, or the new Virtual Tours page!
