Hearst Castle is a blending of the architectural style with the surrounding land, and Hearsts superb European and Mediterranean art collection, was so seamless that world-renowned architectural historian, Lord John Julius Norwich, was moved to say that Hearst Castle is a palace in every sense of the word. The Experience Tour tickets include admission to the castle and a screening of the film, Hearst Castle Building the Dream. Breathtaking original cinematography combined with vintage clips and stills from the 1920s and 30s allows visitors to experience the building and background of the Castle on a 5-story screen.
