The Huntington Library, 
Art Collections, and Botanical 
Gardens mark the 500th 
anniversary of the Protestant 
Reformation with an exhibition 
that explores the power of the

manuscripts, books, and prints 
made between the 1400s and 
1648 (the end of the ThirtyYears War). “The Reformation:

on view in the West Hall of the 
Library through Feb. 26.
