The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens will reopen its art galleries Saturday after more than one year of closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Attendance will be limited to 50% of capacity, and visitors must obtain tickets in advance at huntington.org.
Available for viewing will be the newly restored masterpiece of 18th- century British portraiture, βThe Blue Boyβ by Thomas Gainsborough.
In addition, βMade in L.A. 2020: a version,β the fifth iteration of the Hammer Museum's biennial exhibition, will debut at both the Hammer Museum and the Huntington in two versions that make up the whole, and will remain at both institutions through Aug. 1. Planning for the reopening of other galleries at the Huntington, including the Library Exhibition Hall, is underway.
