Lapidarium, also known as Skeletal Horses, is a traveling public sculpture exhibition by Mexican artist Gustavo Aceves.
It consists of 22 bronze and marble horse statues that are broken or cracked, and have a skeletal and unfinished appearance. Some pieces include human skulls within, representing immigrants who died during their journey. The work's title refers to lapidariums, or sites where archeological findings are exhibited, creating "an association between the fragmented artworks and our shared history and past".
