On the Grid : Huntington Library
"The Huntington Library is one of the coolest places in the world. I describe it to friends as the Versailles of Los Angeles. It is a stunning art collection and series of botanical gardens built by the railroad magnate Henry Huntington. To tour the gardens is to tour the gardens of the world. There is a Chinese garden, a Japanese garden, an Australian garden, a desert garden, a world-class rose garden and more. It is one of the amazing features of the California climate, that this place can cultivate plants native to so many different parts of the world. This is all to say nothing of the art. There is a top-notch permanent collection and a rotating exhibition sure to be fantastic. If you are hungering for culture, set aside two days for the Huntington." - OSSO
