William Randolph Hearst was one of the many wealthy American collectors in the 19th and early 20th centuries who built and decorated sumptuous homes. In this era, great estates were decorated with European art and architectural elements. These wealthy collectors amassed art, which became, in many cases the basis for the great American art museums founded in the late 19th century. Art treasures can be found in every room of Hearst Castle. Antique ceilings, Greek vases dating from 800 B.C., rare oriental carpets, and myriad works of art can be seen throughout William Randolph Hearst's vast home. Art and architectural elements originating primarily in Spain and Italy complement the Mediterranean Revival architecture. Antique furniture, ceilings, mantels, doors, paintings, sculptures, bas-reliefs, textiles and tapestries, comprise much of what is seen at Hearst Castle. Complete care, maintenance and management of the collections at Hearst Castle is the responsibility of the Collections Management Section. Officially christened in 1984, the section has been working to care for the artifacts since Hearst Castle was donated to the State of California in 1957 as a historic house museum.
