Book advance tickets to this popular attraction and pick up a complimentary audio tour to learn along the way.

Exploring the Art Galleries at the Huntington

Though it's tempting to relax in the sun-soaked gardens, it's worth heading inside to explore the Huntington's art collection. You can browse the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art and see European works spanning five centuries, including devotional pieces by Rogier van der Weyden and a Jean-Antoine Houdon sculpture. Be sure to stop in the temporary exhibition space in The MaryLou and George Boone Gallery to see what's new.
