Westphalian Horse Museum

The Horse Museum at the Allwetterzoo Münster

A museum of a special kind. If you love horses or want to learn more about them, a visit to the Westphalian Horse Museum is an absolute must. With its unusual concept and location in the middle of Münster's Allwetterzoo , it offers a wealth of information and attractions about horses. On 1,000 square metres of exhibition space, the museum is dedicated to the natural and cultural history of the horse in Westphalia in an informative and entertaining way.

Numerous hands-on and media stations and exciting original objects provide insights into the centuries-long relationship between horse and man. Visitors meet the imposing "Polydor", one of the most successful breeding stallions of all time, learn exciting details about the life of a pit horse and experience the world from the point of view of the noble animals. The riding simulators are particularly popular with children, where they can try out the three gaits of walk, trot and gallop. The interactive carriage simulator is also a real crowd-puller: high on the carriage stand of a historic "wagonette", visitors can choose between a leisurely carriage ride across meadows and bridges or a sporty ride through an obstacle course.

Exhibitions and horses up close

Exhibitions in the Horse Museum

In addition to the exciting permanent exhibition, the Westphalian Horse Museum regularly presents special exhibitions on various topics. The focus is - of course - the horse, but there are also exhibitions on other animals. Particularly popular is the renowned photo exhibition "Wildlife Photographer of the Year", which the Horse Museum has been showing every winter since 2012.

Horses up close

Right next to the museum building is the "Hippomaxx" arena. Here you can experience horses up close and in action: Shows and demonstrations on various horse breeds and riding styles take place regularly in the riding arena. For the youngest horse fans, there is the "Get up close to the horse!" campaign, where children can gain their first experience with a horse.
There are even more "real" horses in the adjacent children's and horse park. Various breeds of horses live in the spacious horse enclosure, just waiting to be stroked by visitors young and old.
