The Huntington, recently renamed The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, marks its centennial with a year-long celebration and new exhibit, Nineteen Nineteen. Culled from the museum's holdings of some 11 million items, the nearly 300 objects on display are divided into five thematic sections ? Fight, Return, Map, Move, and Build ? and include photographs, art, books, maps, posters and other archival material that look at crucial events and issues from world history from the year the institution was founded in 1919: the aftermath of WW I, Paris Peace Conference, passing of women's right to vote, a flu pandemic, etc.

The exhibit also explores significant moments related to local history, including those of founders Henry E. and Arabella Huntington, and how they transformed their private estate and collection into a public institution.
