“100 Great British Drawings,” a major exhibition at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, will trace the practice of drawing in Britain from the 17th through the mid-20th century, spotlighting The Huntington’s important collection of more than 12,000 works that represent the great masters of the medium.

Toyon is brightening winter landscapes throughout Southern California, including here at The Huntington.

On Sept. 24, 2021, a Queensland kauri (Agathis robusta) in The Huntington's Rose Garden was designated as a California Big Tree, The Huntington's first such honor. On Nov. 5, Matt Ritter, professor of botany at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, who serves as the coordinator for the California Big Tree Registry, paid a visit to The Huntington for a ceremony to officially certify the tree's status as the largest Queensland kauri in the state.

This year, The Huntington acquired a striking portrait of Moanahonga (Great Walker), an Ioway chief, painted around 1824 by the American artist Charles Bird King.

With a new painting that responds to Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy, Kehinde Wiley again revises a “masterpiece,” adding Black youth to the repertoire of English grand manner portraiture, redirecting the genre’s aggrandizing powers, and challenging its exclusivity.

Exhibition explores a more expansive and contextualized view of American art history; features new works and new acquisitions by Enrique Martínez Celaya, Thomas Cole, Mercedes Dorame, Sandy Rodriguez, and Cara Romero, among others.

In an ongoing partnership with Ghetto Film School, The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is serving as a training ground for student filmmakers exploring careers in the film industry.
