of Design. Formerly the home of Archer
Milton Huntington (1870-1955) and his wife,
the sculptor Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington

many artistic styles spanning two hundred
years it is actually home to the largest
collection of its kind in the country.

Horatio Greenough, Winslow Homer,
Jasper Johns, Maya Lin, I. M. Pei,
