Timed to the nation’s 250th anniversary, “This Land Is …” uses The Huntington’s collections and key loans—from the Declaration of Independence to contemporary art—to examine the relationship between people, place, and nation.

The once-in-a-century project will restore the historic public-facing wing of the 1919 Library exhibition halls—designed by architect Myron Hunt—and modernize back-of-house spaces for today.

In a moment when university resources shrink and public funding wanes, The Huntington supports roughly 150 research fellows and welcomes more than 2,000 additional readers annually who conduct independent research in its collections. These fellowships form one of largest and longest-running centers for humanistic research in the nation.
