Chronicling the history and tradition of the premier event of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, the Kentucky Derby Museum offers museum exhibits, facility tours and hands-on activities. A life-sized video presentation immerses visitors in the experience of Derby Week, displays cover the histories of some of the derby's most famous horses, jockeys and owners and a number of walking and vehicle-based tours provide another way to get involved in the race. Located at Churchill Downs, site of the Kentucky Derby, the museum is a mile south of the University of Louisville's campus.
