American Museum of Natural History - THE HORSE
|
|
THE HORSE exhibit is coming to Museum at Prairiefire in Overland Park.
The Museum at Prairiefire (Overland Park, KS) will be presenting a signature exhibition organized by the American Museum of Natural History entitled The Horse, starting October 10th, 2015.
The Horse explores the powerful link between horses and humans. Humans domesticated horses some 6,000 years ago, and over time, we have created more than 200 breeds, from the powerful Clydesdale to the graceful Arabian. As we have shaped horses to suit our needs on battlefields, farms, and elsewhere, these animals have shaped human history. They have also captured our imagination and hearts. Millions of people rely on horses as their spirited, dedicated, much adored companions.
Exhibition highlights will include a hand-painted diorama depicting the evolution of the horse (it was once no bigger than a dog); spectacular fossils; a samurai saddle; a horse-drawn early 20th century fire engine; and other cultural objects from around the world. Interactive stations throughout invite visitors of all ages to touch ancient horse teeth, identify different breeds, and learn how horses hear, digest food, and express their moods.
The exhibition will open October 10th, 2015, and be on display until January 24th, 2016.
Through a unique collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, as well as with other cultural and educational institutions in the Kansas City area, the
Museum at Prairiefire
(MAP) is a place to understand and celebrate natural history and culture in our region and around the world. The Museum engages visitors and area students with world-class exhibitions, important programming, and significant educational opportunities.
