A cultural and historical treasure trove, the Huntington Library enchants its visitors with its blend of art, history, literature, and botanical beauty. 

The Huntington Library houses an extraordinary collection of rare books, manuscripts, and historical documents. Among its treasures are the Gutenberg Bible, one of the earliest major books printed using movable type, and an extensive collection of British and American historical manuscripts. 

In the Huntington Residence, art enthusiasts will be equally impressed by the Huntington’s art galleries, which feature European art from the 18th and 19th centuries, including works by Gainsborough, Romney, and Lawrence. The residence also features the personal library of the family, with impressive and rare European literary collections. 

A reprieve from the fast-paced bustle of city life in Los Angeles, entering the Huntington residence and gardens transports its visitors to the opulent lifestyle of the early 20th century and provides insight into the lives of its original inhabitants. An American estate with a European twist, the Huntington Residence and Library will mesmerize and enchant with its literary history and significance.
