Living Horse Museum

Located inside the Hollandsche Manege (“Dutch Riding School”), the Living Horse Museum is one of Amsterdam’s best kept secrets. Dating back to 1744, the Hollandsche Manege is the oldest riding school in The Netherlands. In 2022, the Hollandsche Manege opened its very own museum — The Living Horse Museum — dedicated to the building’s history, riders, and horses. Part of this museum includes the stables with dozens of its horses. For more information, visit the Living Horse Museum website.
