It's the video you've all been asking for! Come along with guides Mike and Jessie for a peek into the basements of Hearst Castle. More than 14,000 sq ft. make up the basements and there you can find everything from 500 year old Italian silk banners to massive antique Persian carpets. Our incredible curatorial staff works tirelessly to care for this massive collection. Each room in the Castle is filled to the brim with pieces from Mr. Hearst's art collection and there was so much more to be found

The ancient Roman art of Hearst Castle represents living, breathing people who walked the planet some 2,000 years ago. Their presence is felt through the artifacts they left behind. | Hearst Castle

WR Hearst amassed a massive collection of art objects that spanned centuries of history. From a stylistic standpoint he seemed to prefer the Gothic and Renaissance periods. He had very little admiration for artwork from his own time. But if you look hard enough, you will find modern/contemporary art sprinkled throughout the Castle. Join Margaret as she takes you on a tour of Art Deco at the Castle. | Hearst Castle
