Huntington Library
Rare books and manuscripts constitute the Huntington Library, Pasadena’s treasure and one of America’s most extensively used collections in America outside the Library of Congress. It also features Art Collections: three separate galleries distinguished by their specialized character and elegant settings, along with a fourth space—the Mary Lou and George Boone Gallery, which hosts changing exhibitions. Outside, its Botanical Gardens are divided into more than a dozen thematic areas on 120 acres. More than 15,000 different species of plants can be seen here. San Marino, CA - 626-405-2100
