Short-term Exhibition

Nagoya University Museum Off-site Exhbition What is the Kiso Horse? The Sequel: Featuring Everyone's Voices

Nagoya University Museum has a permanent exhibit featuring the skeletal specimen of the purebred Kiso Horse, "Dai-san Haruyama." Dai-san Haruyama fathered 700 offspring throughout his lifetime, greatly contributing to the preservation of the Kiso Horse. Even after his death, as both a taxidermy and skeletal specimen, he continues to convey the physical characteristics of the Kiso Horse, serving as a key to understanding the relationship between Kiso Horses and people through his presence.

From April 22 to May 12, 2024, Nagoya University Museum held an off-site exhibition titled "What is Kiso Horse?" at the Kiso Town Cultural Exchange Center in Nagano Prefecture. Centered around Dai-san Haruyama, the exhibit introduced the Kiso Horse s BODY, HISTORY, and PRESENT AND FUTURE. Many visitors shared their thoughts and feelings about what kind of horse the Kiso Horse is, which we gathered as their "voices."

This time, we are hosting the follow-up exhibition, "What is the Kiso Horse? The Sequel: Featuring Everyone s Voices," where, in addition to the previous content, we will also introduce the visitors' voices as part of the display. Together with all of you, we will reflect on the charm of the Kiso Horses and their potential in daily life with humans.
