Art Galleries at the Huntington
Posted on | May 8, 2011 | 2 Comments
Main Hallway at The Huntington Art Gallery, San Marino, California
Surprisingly, I had never been inside any of the art galleries at the Huntington prior to this aside from the Huntington Library. My mom never took us inside the art galleries when I was growing up so I’d always assumed it was just the library and the botanical gardens. I didn’t realize the other buildings were open to the public until I was browsing their website a few months ago.
The art collections are quite impressive and the galleries that house the art are a work of art in their own right. In particular, I recommend visiting The Boone Gallery which currently has an exhibit by John Frame, titled, “Three Fragments of a Lost Tale.” There is a mix of sculptures and photography set in a very dark gallery setting with a beautiful film at the end. You can’t take pictures in this gallery but this is a very somber yet powerful exhibit. I’m not a huge art fanatic but I might have to go back and see it again. The exhibit runs through June 20th so there’s still time.
