View some exclusive and stunning footage of the National Sports Museum's latest permanent exhibition, Champions - Thoroughbred Racing Gallery, including an interview with exhibition curator Jed Smith.

The Champions gallery features some of the most beautiful and important horseracing treasures imaginable, as well some “gems” that have never been displayed before. 

In addition, it features a suite of multimedia experiences, including some of the oldest racing footage from around the country.

One of many highlights in Champions is an articulated skeleton of Carbine, the champion racehorse of the 1880s and 1890s. Here, we show how the skeleton was constructed inside the Champions Gallery.
