The Living Museum of the Horse, Art museum in Chantilly, France
The Museum of the Horse occupies fifteen rooms within the Great Stables, displaying two hundred objects including paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, and equestrian equipment.
The Great Stables, constructed between 1719 and 1735 for Louis-Henri Prince of Condé, represent the largest equestrian building in Europe with capacity for 240 horses.
The museum combines art and ethnology to present the relationship between humans and horses across different civilizations through international collections and artifacts.
Visitors can explore the museum through interactive terminals, family-oriented panels with quizzes, and regular equestrian demonstrations throughout the day.
The facility maintains thirty performing horses and presents three major equestrian shows annually within the historical stable building dating from the eighteenth century.
