The Getty Center is comprised of two facilities, the world-renowned Getty Museum and the Villa. The Getty Museum features European paintings, illuminated manuscripts, 18th century decorative arts and modern photography. Set within a collection of buildings divided by gardens, water fountains, winding pathways and sculptures, the experience of the museum itself is akin to being within a piece of art. The museum's layout mirrors its location, set atop a hill in the Brentwood district of north Los Angeles and accessed by the parking lot via a small commuter rail. The center's new Villa, situated 5 miles southwest in Pacific Palisades, houses the Getty's collection of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiques, displaying more than 1,200 of its 44,000 pieces.
Open Tue. - Thurs. and Sun. 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.; Fri. - Sat. 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.; Closed Mon.
Admission is free. Parking $8.
Beautiful location, loved the shuttle ride up the hills. The building itself is okay, the landscaping is wonderful, and the art is superb. Definitely the best part of my trip.
