| Abstract: | The Museum of the White Horse was a personal response by Tania Kovats to our historic and ongoing fascination with the Uffington White Horse, an ancient monument carved into the chalk downland in southwest Oxfordshire, and comprised a travelling landscape museum housed in a converted horsebox. The Museum contained a collection of artefacts and materials relating to the Uffington White Horse and white horses more generally, and for five months it toured to ten locations across central southern England, including White Horse Hill, Uffington White Horse Show, Cheltenham and Newbury racecourses, Natural History Museum, London and other museums and galleries. |
