Item Description
Two (2) guest admission passes good for one-day admission to The Huntington's gardens, art galleries, and library exhibition halls in San Marino, CA on regularly scheduled opening days during regular hours.
The Library
The Huntington Library is one of the world’s great independent research libraries in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science, stretching from the 11th century to the present.
Art Collections
The Huntington’s art collections focus on European art from the 15th to the early 20th century and American art from the late 17th to the late 20th century. The European art collection is one of the most distinguished collections of late 18th- and early 19th-century British paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts outside the United Kingdom, including Thomas Gainsborough’s Blue Boy; Sir Joshua Reynolds’ Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse; John Constable’s View on the Stour near Dedham; J. M. W. Turner’s The Grand Canal, Venice; and major holdings of design materials relating to William Morris.
The Gardens
Encompassing approximately 120 acres of the 207-acre grounds, the botanical gardens contain more than a dozen principal garden areas, including a Japanese Garden, a Desert Garden, and the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, which reflects the traditional style of scholar gardens in Suzhou, China, and features a 1.5-acre lake, a complex of pavilions, a teahouse and tea shop, stone bridges, and waterfalls set against a wooded backdrop of mature oaks and pines.
