Today, The Huntington estate encompasses 207 acres and includes ten galleries for rotating exhibitions, distinguished collections of American and European Art housed across 57,000 square feet of gallery space, a library holding nine million items, and over 15,000 types of plants landscaped into 16 gardens. Situated just 11 miles from downtown Los Angeles, The Huntington is the fourth most-visited cultural institution in Los Angeles County, and hosts more than 800,000 visitors each year.
