Huntington Founders' Day 2024: Foundations and Futures

The 2024 Founders’ Day program marked The Huntington’s fifth anniversary under the leadership of President Karen R. Lawrence. Lori Bettison-Varga, president of the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, sat down with Lawrence to discuss the responsibilities of leading a cultural organization, The Huntington’s recent evolution, and how founders Henry E. and Arabella Huntington’s intention for their collections to be put to use—by researchers, teachers, students, and the wider public—drives The Huntington’s institutional mission today.
