“one of the world’s great cultural, research centers”
Welcome to The Huntington, one of the world’s great cultural, research, and educational centersA private, nonprofit institution, The Huntington was founded in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, an exceptional businessman who built a financial empire that included railroad companies, utilities, and real estate holdings in Southern California.
Huntington was also a man of vision – with a special interest in books, art, and gardens. During his lifetime, he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world, established a splendid art collection, and created an array of botanical gardens with plants from a geographic range spanning the globe. These three distinct facets of The Huntington are linked by a devotion to research, education, and beauty.
Absolutely stunning gardens! Fantastic way to spend a whole afternoon or entire day, wandering the beautiful landscapes and exploring the magnificent art collections at the library. Highly recommended!
Love the rose and Japanese gardens here!
