The Huntington Library

Thursday of last week devoted itself to the fieldtrip of our Shakespearian group to go to... (drum roll, please)
.... The Huntington Library!

There, we saw some of Shakespeare's first published scripts, and a beautiful, life-like, statue of Puck. We also saw the original painting of the famous actress, Sarah Siddons, who was famous for playing Hamlet, and all the leading roles in Shakespeare's plays (not with him, of course). The "Library" was owned by Henry Huntington, and covered with his relics for 207 acres. We visited the Shakespeare garden, which was placed right outside of the main estate, which is now used as the showroom for the art gallery. I will be posting the main pictures later.
