National Museum of Racing will open two new special exhibitions and host several public events to coincide with the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival held June 4-8, officials announced Wednesday.
The Museum’s latest exhibits, “A Look Through the Eyes and Life of Charlotte C. Weber” and “Greg Montgomery: 40 Years of the Travers Poster,” will open to the public Wednesday, June 4.
“A Look Through the Eyes and Life of Charlotte C. Weber” chronicles the remarkable journey in thoroughbred racing and breeding of Charlotte Weber, who established Live Oak Stud in Ocala, Fla. The exhibition will be displayed in the Museum’s McBean Gallery through November 2.
The Museum’s von Stade Gallery will simultaneously host “Greg Montgomery: 40 Years of the Travers Poster,” featuring one of racing’s most iconic series of artwork, through June 29.
Montgomery began producing annual posters for Saratoga Race Course’s Travers Stakes in 1986, creating a visual legacy that has become synonymous with the prestigious race.
These special exhibitions represent part of the Museum’s ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating thoroughbred racing history during one of the sport’s signature festival weeks.
The timing aligns with the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, giving racing enthusiasts additional cultural experiences while visiting for the final leg of the Triple Crown series.
