About the Museum

The National Horseracing Museum (NHRM) is a museum in Newmarket dedicated to the history of horseracing. It covers a 5-acre site on Palace Street in the centre of the town, having previously been housed in the Jockey Club Rooms on Newmarket High Street. Together with the British Sporting Art Trust and Retraining of Racehorses, it is part of the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing & Sporting Art and was opened by Elizabeth II in 2016. The site includes Palace House, which is all that remains of Newmarket Palace.
