The Westphalian Horse Museum looks at the horse as an animal of work, war, sport, and regional identity. In Münster, where cycling usually dominates the visitor’s imagination, the museum is a reminder that Westphalia’s rural and equestrian traditions are just as important to the surrounding countryside.
It sits by the Allwetterzoo, so it is easiest to visit as part of that outing rather than as a standalone cross-town trip. The museum is most rewarding for families, riders, or anyone interested in how an ordinary animal can shape a region’s economy and self-image.
