The Getty Center

The Getty Center

WOW!! This was a magnificent experience. The Museum is at the top of a hill placed on 110 acres owned by the Getty Foundation. The museum houses a collection of pre-20th Century European art and as well as an occasional traveling exhibition. The art collection was magnificent but the highlight of the Getty Center was the incredible building and garden. It was an architectural monument. As you can see from the pictures the garden itself would have been a delight to see.

You need reservations for parking which is $5 per car. A tram will then take you up the hill to the museum and garden. phone 310.440.7300 for parking reservations.

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 collections are extensive, and the grounds are beautiful. You may need to spend more than one day at the museum to really appreciate all it has to offer. I suggest picking your favorite styles of art and concentrating on them if your time is limited.

One of the most remarkable art museums anywhere in the world today. Not only is the collection outstanding - one of the country's best - but the building itself is a marvel of modern architecture. There is too much to see to fit into a short description... note that you must call ahead for parking (310) 440-7300.
