A must see in San Marino, CA, The Huntington is one of the best cultural and inspirational places to visit. This splendid property has it all. The library includes an extraordinary collection of rare books and manuscripts. The galleries exhibit amazing art collections carefully placed in their majestic buildings. And, last but not least, are the amazing botanical gardens! Covering 120 acres of continuous beauty, the gardens are arranged according to the area the plants pertain to. Some of my favorites are the Desert Garden and the Japanese and Chinese Gardens. It is perfect to go on a weekend getaway and get lost in this whimsical place.
