A vision in white at the crest of a west LA hillside, the Getty complex can only overwhelm the Greco-Roman relics inside. Even if you have no interest in the permanent or temporary exhibits, this is a modern marvel that demands to be seen.

The Getty Museum is a huge collection of works gathered by a collector and enhanced by the managers of his estate after his death. The building itself is a work of art worthy of photographing as well.

Best of IgoUgo They moved hundreds of tons of dirt out and hundreds of tons of marble in to make this showplace on the hill. The buildings and grounds are spectacular, but unfortunately the art collection is second-rate. Nevertheless, it is amazing to consider ...Read more

The Getty Center was rebuilt a few years ago, and now sits atop a hillside so that you can see it from the freeway if there isn't too much smog. After parking, you take a trolley-like ride up the hill to get to the museum. The Getty ...Read more
