The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens

The Huntington combines a research library, art museum, and expansive botanical gardens into one of Southern California’s most rewarding cultural campuses. Visitors come for rare books and manuscripts, major art collections, and gardens that make the site feel as much like a destination landscape as a museum.

The Huntington is especially known for the breadth of its gardens, which include themed landscapes that make the campus a destination even for visitors who are not primarily museumgoers.

The Huntington is ticketed and its official site lists regular daytime hours with Tuesday closures. The campus is large, so allow enough time for both the galleries and gardens, and check admission requirements before visiting.
