The Getty Museum, June 2010

After watch­ing Mac ride over the fin­ish line on his week-​long ride to raise money for AIDS LifeCycle, one of the high­lights of our sum­mer was vis­it­ing the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
What an experience!

The Getty Center in Los Angeles presents the Getty’s col­lec­tion of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present against a back­drop of dra­matic archi­tec­ture, tran­quil gar­dens, and gor­geous views. The garage is at the bot­tom of the hill and a train takes you on a breath­tak­ing scenic trip to the museum . It is barely nec­es­sary to enter the build­ings — the archi­tec­ture and gar­dens are out­stand­ing From bougainvil­lea to huge cac­tus, the gar­dens are a treat for any­one with green thumbs.

The food was also fan­tas­tic – we sat on a lawn over­look­ing the maze with gourmet sand­wiches and bot­tle of wine.
The exhi­bi­tions are not so bad either! Well worth the trip if you are in the area.

The Getty Center, Los Angeles is located at 1200 Getty Center Drive in Los Angeles, California, approx­i­mately 12 miles north­west of down­town Los Angeles.
