The National Horseracing Museum recounts the story of the Sport of Kings and hands-on exhibits include a Horse Simulator for budding jockeys and racing karaoke. Other displays celebrate the lives of both two- and four-legged racing personalities, among them Lester Piggott, Willie Carson and Red Rum. Recent temporary exhibitions have examined racing frauds, artwork and the unique bond between horses and humans over the centuries. The museum also runs a programme of specialist visits to private studs, horse sanctuaries and other equine sites. A shop and cafe are also available.
