Kentucky Derby Museum

Kentucky Derby Museum

The museum consists of two floors of exhibit space, including a 360-degree theater that shows the video The Greatest Race. Through the film and exhibits, visitors can learn what goes into the breeding and training of a young foal, and the path it takes to the Kentucky Derby's winner circle. Every Kentucky Derby winner is honored in the Warner L. Jones Time Machine, where visitors can watch any Kentucky Derby from 1918 to the present day. Exhibits highlight the stories of owners, trainers and jockeys as well as the importance of African American jockeys and trainers to the race and the Thoroughbred industry.

We hope you enjoy our work.
