The Getty museum center is one of the most distinctive architectural achievements in LA and an excellent place to spend an afternoon when you are in town. The Getty is an art museum that has its core art inherited from J P Getty.

The Getty museum center was completed in 1997 and displays Getty's collection mainly consisting of Greek and Roman antiquities, European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculpture, decorative arts, and European and American photographs.

The Getty center area open to the public consists of five two-story pavilions set around an open courtyard, and each gallery within is specially designed to complement the works on display. The admission to Getty center is free so you only have to pay for the parking. This museum is gorgeous and well worth a visit
