The Huntington

The Huntington is a wonderful way to spend a day.  Tucked away in Pasadena you can while away your hours in its scattered galleries, and budding gardens.  I must say I am annoyed it took me so long to make it out here! I can't wait to go back.


Amongst the grounds one can find its collections of American Art, Prints and Drawings, Charles and Henry Greene, and my favorite the European Collection which features the famous Pinky (left) and Blue Boy (right). 

 The European collection also holds the most Joshua Reynold's and his rival Thomas Gainsborough's portraits I have ever seen in one place.   Including one of my favorite historical tarts, Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire.


And the grounds and gardens are perfect for strolling and picnicking.  An excellent way to spend a day!
