The horse in 50,000,000 years: A model according to the drawings of the scientist Dougal Dixion shows the horse of the future. The horse 50,000,000 years ago: The original fossil of the Messeler prehistoric horse and archaeological findings take the visitor on a journey back in time. Why and how did the appearance and the way of life of horses change over the course of millions of years?

Nature and Manner

What does a horse see and taste? How intelligent is it? How much sleep does it need? This part of the exhibition answers these and further questions. Beginning with the behavioral traits of the horse, the visitor experiences the world from a horse's perspective. A 'horse in slices' displays the anatomy of the horse. In a light-hearted 'human-horse' comparison, the visitor learns about the uniqueness of the anatomy of the horse and thus gains a better understanding of this living creature.
