Behind the Action: Making Magic with the Horses of Hollywood” is a bilingual exhibition where visitors can step behind the scenes to learn what it’s like to work with horses and what goes into the magic of seeing horses on screen! Through the stories of wranglers, stunt performers, trainers, and actors, we explore the special bonds between actors and their equine costars; the history of horses in the film and television industry; training; and ensuring safety on set.
In addition to photos and videos, this exhibit features props and costumes from the television show 1883!
The exhibit will be on display from November 12, 2024, through November 15, 2025.
