Specialty Museum Museum

• ©

Kentucky Derby Museum features two floors of artifacts and interactive displays that celebrate what some consider the most exciting two minutes in sports. Your first stop in the museum is the 360-degree theater, which screens the film "The Greatest Race." You're then welcome to explore the two floors on your own. Check out the interactive exhibit that allows you to record yourself announcing races with the assistance of a prompter screen. Or view the collection of Derby hats that have graced the heads of race goers since the opening of the track.

  This was a such a great experience!!! We had a private tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Everything was beautiful and the staff working were all friendly. We had a 60 person group for a company event and the dinner they offered us was so far past amazing!!! I did not upload any pictures of artifacts because everyone should make this place a “need to go” travel destination!!!

  Worth going to for certain! You can tour the track area and pay a little extra and tour the stables! Museum was informative with a nice movie to watch and loved seeing all the hats on display! Nice gift shop also! Worth doing if you’re in Louisville!
