Getty Center – Los Angeles

The Getty Center, in Los Angeles, California, is a campus of the Getty Museum and other programs of the Getty Trust. The $1.3 billion Center opened to the public on December 16, 1997 and is well known for its architecture, gardens, and views overlooking Los Angeles.

The Getty Center is one of LA’s best attractions. It is Visually stunning, entirely made of marble at the top of the hill that divides the city and it houses some of the most extraordinary Pre-20th century European art in existence. Form Van Gogh and Monet , to ancient Roman artifacts and tapestries and everything in between. There are also traveling exhibits that feature more modern work. The art is divided into 4 buildings that can be visited in the order of your preference. There are special family rooms as well as activities for kids to stay entertained and learn about art.

Another amazing feature of the Getty is the Garden. The beautiful labyrinth-like garden features flowing water and changes with the seasons.

If you get hungry you should go to the cafe to sample the amazing daily menu. If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience try the restaurant, since it gets full you are better off making a reservation in advance.

Had a great time visiting the Getty Center on the weekend. A bit crowded but that was expected. No complaints. Great views of the city and the place is amazing.
