点评:The National Horse Racing museum is situated in the centre of Newmarket and is around half a mile from the station on foot.
It is housed in a fine building with numerous interesting modern displays and many items of racing memorabilia.
I enjoyed the videos relating to days in the lives of jockeys, both National Hunt and on the flat.
Lots of racing silks, trophies and paintings on view. I liked the overview of thoroughbred bloodlines including the likes of Secretariat and Northern Dancer.
Famous horses from my youth such as Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard also featured prominently.
There was an interesting set of exhibits about legendary trainer Noel Murless as well.
Across the road from the museum, in Charles II’s palace, there was a terrific collection of paintings, especially those by Sir Alfred Munnings and George Stubbs.
I paid £7.50 entrance fee with an Art Fund card. Regular admission is £15.

我很喜欢那些讲述骑师日常生活的视频,无论是在国家狩猎赛还是在平地赛马场。
博物馆展出了大量赛马服、奖杯和绘画作品。我还喜欢对纯种马血统的概述,包括“秘书处”和“北方舞者”等。
我年轻时认识的名马,例如“尼金斯基”、“米尔里夫”和“准将杰拉德”,也都在这里展出。
博物馆还展出了一系列关于传奇驯马师诺埃尔·穆勒斯的精彩展品。
博物馆对面的查理二世宫殿里收藏着许多精美的画作,尤其是阿尔弗雷德·芒宁斯爵士和乔治·斯塔布斯的作品。
