Harvard Art Museum

 

Some time ago, we made a trip to the Harvard Art Museum, and since I haven't posted in a while, here is a photo dump of their equine art. There may be more, but we didn't make it to the top floor!

If you're in Boston, plan to spend time visiting this lovely gem of a museum. 

Parking may be tricky, but admission is free ;)

And while not a horse, this floral by Renoir is now one of my all-time 
favorite paintings. So beautiful in person and invokes such a feeling of serenity to gaze upon it.

Wagon Land Adventure - Part 15 (Special Collections)

 

In addition to the astonishing number of horse-drawn vehicles and harnesses at Wagon Land Adventure, there were tangential collections of all kinds around the property. Enjoy this last post featuring some of these special collections. 

Sleigh Bells & Measuring Tools

I *think* these are all tools for adjusting wheels

stacks and stacks of tools

Collection of bugles

I think the antique handheld tools on the far left are
used to measure the circumference of a wheel.

Carriage Lanterns

Miniature replicas of all sizes

Large topographical map of the area

Braided and Other Tack

Display of Native American Artifacts
Eli was planning to have an indigenous expert come to help properly identify everything.

Fun fact: This display case was in my in-law's store for years before they retired.

So thrilled that Eli has given it a new purpose!

Collection of weights for ground tying line an entire wall!

Buggy seats

Fist detail on this hitching post

Harness bells close-up

I hope you enjoyed visiting Wagon Land Adventure with me.
It is truly a remarkable collection curated by Eli to preserve the horse-drawn past.
If you're ever near Tremonton, Utah make sure to plan a visit!
