It’s crazy how they persevere the gardens so well some of the photos in the video look the same today in 2020!

The Huntington Library and Gardens are such a wonderful continuing gift and inspiration! There's so much for everyone: botany, art, medieval manuscripts, culinary delights, peaceful respite, and marvelous settings for live music, whether a jazz trio or a classical ensemble.

Wow amazing. Every time I go to Huntington Library I always feel peace. It inspires me to be rich. May God bless his & his family soul.

What was there not to love.....a great video. Just wish it was longer!

[@DesertRockfall]

Great presentation! I grew up in SoCal and visited the library many times in the 70's. Did you know that Henry had his own personal rail spur to his front gate? It was still there the last time I visited in 1978. It has since been removed. I'm looking forward to viewing more of your material!

[@destinsansbury4992]

61 million dollars on art

[@gardensofthegods]

But it would have been much much more than that by the inflation index . $61 million for art is not a lot with the wealthy ... not today but back then it probably came to over a billion that they spent on all the art and antiques ... and other collectibles .

Just one minute in, but I cannot tolerate the weird human-like narration or the inappropriate music.

Voiceover and graphics seem more suited to 10 year olds. New target audience perhaps.

I visited today for the first time ever…to be honest it made me kind of sad (being Native American) when I walked into their home it felt like it belonged in Europe not here. That’s why I searched for this video-to see the history. There isn’t even a native plant garden on the property *smh* there is a Japanese garden but not a native one. I won’t be returning. It’s sad what these once healthy natives lands have turned into.
