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

It's "the place God would've built if he had the money." Explore Hearst Mansion--one of the countless West Coast wonders highlighted on Aerial America: California, airing tonight at 8. http://bit.ly/2RxbIWD | Smithsonian Channel
