De Hollandsche Manege: equestrian culture in a working setting

The Levend Paardenmuseum in De Hollandsche Manege focuses on riding culture and the riding school. The historic riding school with its arena forms the setting for the presentation.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding the space

A riding school is designed around movement and view. Ask how the museum explains the function of the arena and the surrounding spaces, so that the building becomes more than a backdrop.

The art of riding and dress

Classical horsemanship and the clothing that goes with it are mentioned as subjects. The combination offers a way into both the movements and the way riding is presented.

Plan demonstrations separately

Carrousel demonstrations are part of what is described, but do not necessarily take place on every opening day. Check the calendar if such a demonstration is the main reason for your visit.

Before you go

Use the museum hours and check activities separately. If you have mobility questions, ask which parts of the riding school can be reached and where the museum route begins.
