Natural History, April, 2008

Black Beauty. Seabiscuit. My Little Pony. Mr. Ed. The horse--in fiction and fact, from prehistory to the present--has captured our imagination through books, television, film, and many other media. But there is a compelling backstory to this relationship, as rooted in science as it is in sentiment. This evocative, trailblazing exhibition explores the evolution of this magnificent animal and the enduring bond that shaped human history--transforming hunting, agriculture, transportation, trade, sports, warfare (untold millions of horses died in World War I alone), and many other facets of our life. Spectacular fossils and cultural objects, videos, interactive computer stations, touchable casts, and more tell this amazing story in ways the whole family will enjoy.
