Huntington Library is more than just books. It has 120 acres of gardens, three art galleries housing original paintings of British and French art from the eighteenth and nineteenth century, as well as a library with collections of sculptures, manuscripts, rare books, and decorative arts. This is one of our favorite places to visit . . . more on Huntington Library California

The Huntington Gallery contains a complete fine and top shelf collection of both French and British art from the 18th and 19th centuries. The collections are showcased in 3 separate galleries distinguished by their specialized character and super elegant furnishings and environments. I have rarely seen art this incredible. We could not believe how the rooms kept winding around exposing more and more and more first class art pieces. Collection highlights include original Thomas Gainsborough's The Blue Boy, Sir Thomas Lawrence's Pinkie, Edward Hopper's The Long Leg, and Rogier van der Weyden's Madonna and Child.
