smiply you must go there!!!!! when we were there it was only$1o to park that is all!!!!

Designed by Richard Myers, known for his pallette of white, this hilltop museum and education centre will not disappoint. It was one of the early construction projects to top the 1 billion dollar cost and when you are there you see why. It is an extensive campus of buildings all molded to the hilltop to provide a views both internal and out over the Los Angeles basin.

The centre contains some exquisitely designed gardens and the central garden designed by contemporary artist Robert Irwin will leave you with a sense of inspiration. They use modern materials mixed with both historical, international and contemporary planning concepts to provide a complete sensual experience.

With sunshine almost a sure thing every day, the campus of buildings provides an abundance of outdoor spaces with the full range of light quality, from full sun and glare to deep cavernous shaded spaces.

Inside you will find a full range of exhibits with highlighted exhibits changing on a regular basis. Some of the buildings are used for research and training of new artists. The outdoor cafe allows you to sit back and enjoy the views while you enjoy your food.

Finally…I must mention that the only way to get to the Getty Center is via Tram. That’s right, all visitors must park their car at the bottom (8$ charge, however the museum is FREE) and catch the tram up. They run regularly and it is a relaxing way to get their enjoying the views as you ascend the mountain.
