The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is a collections-based research and educational institution founded in 1919 by Henry E. and Arabella Huntington in San Marino, California. Henry Huntington was an exceptional businessman who built a financial empire in Southern California. He was also a man of vision—with a special interest in rare books, art, and gardens. During his lifetime, he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world, assembled a spectacular art collection, and established an array of botanical gardens with plants from a geographic range spanning the globe. The Huntington’s collections have continued to grow since Henry Huntington’s time, serving up a feast for the senses and intellect, linked by a devotion to research, education, and beauty. The institution houses an extensive art collection with a focus on 18th and 19th century European art and 17th to mid-20th century American art. The property also has approximately 120 acres (49 ha) of specialized botanical landscaped gardens, including the "Japanese Garden", the "Desert Garden", and the "Chinese Garden".
