LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Derby Museum is still open for visitors, despite the track closing for the remainder of the Spring Meet. The museum said it remains open for tours, events, shopping and educational programming.

While racing has transferred from Churchill Downs to Ellis Park for now, horses will continue to be stabled on the Backside and will still be training at the track.

The museum will continue to operate its standard and specialty tours of the Downs, and guests can still enjoy the two floors of museum exhibits, the 360-degree movie entitled “The Greatest Race,” the museum store and the Derby Cafe & Bourbon Bar.

The organization said it supports prioritizing the safety of horses by the racetrack and will support Churchill Downs Incorporated as it continues its top-to-bottom review of all safety and surface protocols.

The museum also said it has many ongoing initiatives that support its mission to teach everyone about the Kentucky Derby and the horse racing industry, including how to care for horses.

The Kentucky Derby Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
