"Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?" J. Paul Getty

Perfect on some of the first warm Spring days of the year... Plenty to do: free art exhibits, gardens, take in the view (which is amazing)... I always prefer to do NOTHING. I bring a book, find a…

Yes, there are those in the "art world" who complain about the collections (or lack thereof) at The Getty Center. However, I always find myself mysteriously captivated by one piece of art or another.…

Have always enjoyed my visits to The Getty when I lived in LA. The grounds are relaxing and beautifully adorned. On a clear day (which were rare), you could get great views of the LA basin from the…

The tram ride up to the Getty is nice after dark. It overlooks the 405 frwy and the million-dollar mansions you dream of owning *some* day. The Getty has some very nice areas that are photo friendly…

While I'm not crazy about the permanent collection (heavy on the manuscripts and antiquities whereas I'm a more 1800s and later kind of girl), there is so much to do besides look at the art. The…

And now for my controversial opinion of the day -- the Getty isn't that great... as a museum. Yes, the Getty has beautiful grounds. Yes, you get a great view from here. Yes, it's free. Yes, it's a…

The Getty Museum is definitely impressive, with /some/ of the most interesting pieces I've seen in a while. I've also got to give props to the garden area which really piqued my interest in the Getty…

The J. Paul Getty Museum is an architectural masterpiece (and no, Richard Meier being my favorite architect does not make me bias)! Truth be told, my wife and I visited the Getty on a Sunday, arriving…

You've read the 245 reviews of the Getty, and you know you're going to go visit it. It's a given. Like walking on the beach at sunset when you visit California for the first time. So instead of…

Love, love, love the lavish assortment of 18th century Rococo-style furnishings and the pink-and-blue rooms with 20-foot(?) ceilings. I'm a sucker for those froufrou Marie Antoinette stuff so this…

I like the museum because it fills so many buildings at the Getty Center, but there's not so much stuff in there that I get what I call "museum fatigue." If you've been to the Met in NYC or the…
