The Getty Museum - Los Angeles, CA Reviews

Late in December we went to the Getty Museum located at 1200 Getty Center Drive in Los Angeles. The Getty Villa is located at 17985 Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, CA. We went to the Museum.

Jean Paul Getty (1892 – 1976) was an American industrialist and founder of the Getty Oil Company.

The Getty Museum is closed on Mondays and open Tuesdays through Thursdaysand Sundays 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. They stay open until 9:00p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Getty Museum is very popular. Perhaps even more so because it is free. My notes say the following: “We waited in a long line though...

Whenever an out-of-town guest comes to visit, this is one of the places I bring them. The Getty is such an amazing museum that it would be a shame to miss.

 I recommend that you eat prior to visiting or bring a small picnic to eat. The view is fantastic so the latter is a good option. There is food available at the Getty but it tends to be pricey. If all you're looking for is a snack- a scone and a cup of tea, for example- then you'll be fine.

 Don't try and just squeeze a museum visit in, make it the focal point of your afternoon. Allocating an hour would not work- it'll take much of that hour...

they getty center in los angeles and the getty villa in malibu are absolutly beautiful places to go. i spend a lot of time in both muesums because they're extensive collections are amazing to look at. they both have a lot of history and its fun to just go there and hang out.
