Right in the center of Amsterdam, a stone’s throw from Leidseplein and adjacent to Vondelpark, is a well-kept secret. An inconspicuous entrance gate in the Vondelstraat gives access to the most beautiful city riding school in Europe; De Hollandsche Manege.
The Living Horse Museum is also located here. In this Living Horse Museum you imagine yourself back in time. The historic ambiance is the setting for a story about the history of this oldest riding school in the Netherlands. The world of the horse comes to life here and is shown within a historical context. We also show the classic equestrian art and clothing during the carousel demonstrations.
