Hearst Castle is a blending of the architectural style with the surrounding land, and Hearst's 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.
