In its fundraising campaign to subsidize all inside exhibits (design & fabrication) of the Arabian Horse Galleries, we are happy to announce that online donations are now accepted for quick & easy gifting.

Here's the bottom line: The more we receive, the more magnificent the Arabian Horse Galleries will be able to be.

And since we're just months away from starting to build the exhibits, every dollar counts.

The Arabian Horse Galleries honor the story of the Arabian horse's past, while also paving the way for its future. Millions of visitors will be thrilled as the Arabian horse's vibrant story and spirit come to life in front of their eyes. Interactive exhibit concepts like the Tevis Cup Ride Experience, the "Ride the Desert" Simulator, "Discovery Oasis'" (touch screen kiosks for children), and a desert cave entrance to the Galleries where visitors will hear blowing sand and feel the desert heat on their faces provide a deep, memorable experience that will be hard to forget. (Click here for more detail in a Virtual Museum Walkthrough).

As a thank-you for your donations, we hope you'll enjoy these gifts:
Donations of $25 or more: Official "Proud Supporter" Window Decal
Donations of $1,000 or more: Official "Proud Supporter" Window Decal AND Permanent Recognition on the Donor Wall inside the Galleries.
