History information

The Westphalian Horse Museum was already considered as an independent institution and focal point of the planned horse park when a reform concept for the Allwetterzoo Münster was drawn up in 1996. In October 2002 the Westphalian Horse Museum finally opened its doors. Today, this cooperation of charming exhibits and living horses is unique in Germany. A unique experience!
