The Getty Center

10/20/2013

The museum is really huge! I came here for a yelp event and the exhibits were still open till 9pm that day. So, we got to explore various artworks from the Renaissance period. I believe they had a work of art by Leonardo Da Vinci on display of Madonna and Child with Saint Anne. They also had artworks from the Romanesque period and a beautiful water fountain outside. I would have to say my favorite sculpture I saw was the covered goblet with cupid. It was late, so I didn't get to explore the garden nor did I get to explore more than 3 exhibits, but next time I return I will be sure to explore the Getty Center thoroughly.

First, I love free things, so that was great! Just $15 for parking which was very reasonable. We came yesterday on a very hot day, I'm going to keep this short as I'm basically repeating everything others have said. Beautiful grounds, clean architecture, lovely sculptures and paintings. Cultural and educational at the same time and very large.

Great experience and I especially enjoyed the Van Gogh

My absolute favorite museum in L.A. The architecture, views and exhibits are always incredible.

4/17/2013

This museum is HUGE and the architecture of the building is beautiful.  The organization of the artwork and artifacts were very well organized and placed. Some of the exhibits were interesting, but I was not very interested in the photography portion.  They have an outdoor garden that is very creative and pretty--they even have a maze type creation outside.  In the middle of the museum there is a water fountain where the kids can place and where adults can sit down and relax while they enjoy their coffee/food from the cafe.

Admission is free but parking is $15.  Totally worth it if you go with friends & family. From the parking lot, you'll take the tram (which comes very 10-15 minutes) and is a very smooth ride to the museum.

Make sure to bring your comfy shoes because there is a lot to explore here.

Wow, what a beautiful museum!! If you want amazing views of Los Angeles.. this is your place.. We walked the gardens, it was a sunny day.. Soo tranquil.

It's a total plus that it's free - well you pay for parking.. I would have left a donation if there was a place to leave it.. I loved the experience that much.

Me and my bf spent our valentines here.  This place just has the most Intriguing atmosphere.  Our minds were stimulated w all the different genres of art and history from all over the world dating as early as the 1400s.  The view from the garden is always spectacular.  It was a beautiful day and we had an awesome time.

7/22/2012

Been here many times! Their expositions are great, the art and furniture are great! They have a beautiful garden and the best view of LA. It's so quiet up on the hill. There are basically 3 buildings full of art, with an open courtyard in the middle and the garden on the side. I just went yesterday for a field trip for one of my classes (free private guided tour... yes!) and noticed they now have an outdoor sculpture exhibit close to the garden. There are plenty of other tours each day you can choose from as well, some suitable for families.

I've also come here for one of their music nights, and it was amazing! The museum kind of turned into an outdoor club (went to see Cut Chemist) and people were dressed up to the nines and they were serving (really overpriced) cocktails and treats.

With all the construction on the 405, just plan ahead when you're on your way to visit. I always take Sepulveda and it's fine. Even though the museum's free, parking is $15. After that it's a short tram ride up to the great architecture that house the works.

Great place to visit!~

Many art exhibits and the garden is beautiful!!!!~

12/1/2013

Sweet! There were plenty of people here on Friday the day after Thanksgiving.  The exhibits they had were total cool.  The architecture is awesome if you're into that.  They have nice views of the area when you stroll outside from one building to the next.  The staff is friendly.  Just make sure to ask if photography is allowed before you snapped away.  If you do just remember to turn off the flash. Some of the paintings that I saw looked so vibrant and was amazed when I read the description of it and discovered that it was several hundreds of years old.  Great cultural place that you can spend an entire day at.  The sunset and views at night are amazing.

3/4/2013

Looooove the Getty.

Beautiful views of the city, gorgeous art, and lots of little extra talks, exhibits, and what not.  It's one of my favorite places to just get away from the city without really getting away.

11/9/2013

I was here last Friday for the first time, although I have been living in LA for over 10 years.  Shame on me for not coming sooner.  And it's free, except for parking.

First off, I must say that in no way do I consider myself knowledgeable enough to critique art and architecture.  This review will only cover the guest experience.

From the drive in to the parking to the tram to the top, the transition and communication by the staff was clear and professional.

Unfortunately there was a gaggle of young moms in my tram who would not shut up, making it impossible to hear what the welcoming announcements and instructions were saying.  I suggest that the volume be increased to blot out such inconsiderate twits.

When at the top, one enters into a wide and welcoming plaza.  With guide brochure in hand, one can start off on their adventures of choice.

The architecture is dramatic, the view from mountains to sea superb, the grounds are wide open and welcoming, just a great venue.

Here is where I think that they can make it easier for visitors-and I know that this is perhaps controversial, but it would improve the experience-more signage.

I am a good map reader, so I could find my way around with the provided brochure, but I saw many people looking confused and lost while looking for their areas of interest.  If the architectural idea is to not clutter the beauty with signage, I agree, but having more staff or human arrows present would help.

As a first timer, my goal was to get the general layout of the Center for future visits, since having done research on the site, I knew that one day would be insufficient for experiencing all aspects of the Center in-depth, therefore this day was a reconnaissance day with time left to indulge in one aspect, which was the European painting wing.  

The paintings are displayed in adequate but correct light, with a security guard at each room for obvious reasons.  They are firm but welcoming to visitors.

I was just overwhelmed by being able to view and approach classic art from decades of European masters and enjoy how the evolution of the art form was portrayed in the succession of the display rooms.  My silence during the tour was truly that of awe.  

Before indulging in this art, I wandered the grounds and took in the dramatic architecture and grounds.

Lots of kids in classes were all over the site (it was a Friday) being introduced to culture and art.  I wish I had had this available to me as a lad.

Just a great day.  I will certainly be back, and many times.

10/13/2013

The Getty is an amazing place that is always fun to visit.  Besides getting a chance to see some amazing artwork, you'll also get to walk through the most beautiful garden area in LA.  You'll also get a chance to check out the entire city from an amazing vista point.  If you haven't been before, you should change that.  

Tip:  If you live in LA, try taking the Metro.  It's always an adventure...and it'll save you a few bucks on parking.

11/3/2013

What else can you say about Getty Center other than:

It's strikingly beautiful
It's filled with priceless pieces of art
It's humongous
It's got the best views of LA
It's gardens are glorious
It's Restaurant is delicious
It's architecturally amazing
It's educational and interactive
It's free to visit (you just pay for parking)

Go Getty!!

2/24/2012

There are two Getty art museums.  The Getty Center in LA, which is a 55 acre facility with stunning architecture, five acres of grounds with groomed gardens, art museum buildings housing art from the Middle Ages to present, a research center plus 50 acres of natural setting.  Not to be confused with the Getty Villa in Malibu where the antiquities collection is housed.

This review is for The Getty Center and based on two visits.  

The first on a February day four years ago when it was as if the sky opened and sheets of water descended.  For that reason we spent the day, about six hours, inside the exhibit buildings.  When we left we agreed we still had many things we would have liked to see but couldn't due to limited time.

The second visit, this month, was on a beautiful February day and we took advantage of it to spend about five hours on the grounds and in the gardens.

With that in mind, this review will provide tips to travelers on what you may want to do to best see The Getty, in particular if it is your first visit.  You'll need to prioritize what most interests you as you'll find time will slip with all the wonders to see in this place.

1) IMPORTANT TIP:  THE  SUNKEN GARDEN IS SCHEDULED TO BE CLOSED BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY MID FEBRUARY AND SOMETIME IN MAY 2012.  Repairing bridge walkways is the main reason for this.  If you are visiting the Getty to see the gardens in particular, you may want to call ahead.

2)  FREE ENTRY - PARKING $15:  The Getty is free entry to all of the exhibits and grounds.  Parking is $15 for all day use.  Public transit buses also run to the Getty.

3)  GETTING FROM PARKING TO THE SITE: The Getty is built literally into the side of and at the top of a hill.  There is a free tram from the parking lot to the site.

4) TAKE THE TOURS;  The best advice we received from others in advance of our first visit to the Getty  was to start with tours.  We're not so much "tour people" but we took the advice and we're glad we did.   So we pass the advice along  Each tour takes roughly an hour, the docents are well trained and convey their passion for the place.  Each tour was excellent. We recommend this order.

a) Start with the ARCHITECTURE TOUR.  A great opportunity to see the astounding architecture and stunning views in context.  It will also touch on the gardens as part of that.

b) Continue with the COLLECTIONS TOUR. An orientation of what is housed in which of the museum buildings and give you a chance to decide what you want to focus on when you go back to browse on your own.

c) Take the GARDENS TOUR.  Gardens consist of both architectural support elements, as in trees planted in plazas, as well as the sunken garden and also a sculpture garden that sits up high with views of the city.  This tour will also touch on the architecture.  NOTE: Although the gardens tour does not go to the sculpture garden, be sure to see it on your own.  Some of the best views of the site are from that location.

5) ACCESSIBILITY:  Wheelchairs users or folks who push strollers will find the entire campus and all the buildings to be perfectly, universally accessible. There are ramps or elevators everywhere there are stairs or if there is only one means of access it is a universal ramp. Doors are either light weight or have auto openers.  All bathrooms on campus are accessible.  And staff is well trained in practices of full inclusion in tours.  Top notch.

6) THE STAFF:  Paid and volunteers both are well trained, friendly and helpful.  If all enterprises that host visitors sent their staffs to shadow the Getty folks (and the National Park Service folks) we'd see excellence grow in travel experiences!

7) EATS: There are five options on site.  

The Restaurant at The Getty: upscale,  really good food, great service, contemporary ambiance, views, prices that are reasonable for the venue.   Open for weekend brunch, weekday lunch and dinner. It is a wonderful place to spend an hour for a mid day break when seeing The Getty. NOTE: Best to make reservations here for any meal.  

The Café: in the same building as the Restaurant and directly below it with good food and lower prices.  

A Terrace Café: (May be open only on weekends during some times of year.)  Casual menu, low prices, outdoor seating over looking the sunken garden.

A coffee kiosk :in the plaza outside the Restaurant that also has small bites.  

If you'd rather pack your own eats, there are tables and benches throughout the Getty Center grounds and we noted several folks were eating bag lunches at them.

8) SCHOOL TOURS:   Weekday visits during the school year carry the possibility of big student groups on campus.  There were several during our last visit; in one group alone we counted 95 students! We also found that at about 2:00 or so the school groups filtered out.

9) CLOSED ON MONDAYS.  Docents say biggest crowds here are on weekends.

  Just one of several BIG school groups when we visited - we counted 95 kids in this one!

We went on Saturday night and got to see a live concert in the plaza before we started looking at all the amazing art. I saw many Claude Monet paintings, some of the most famous and world renowned paintings in the world...great place!!

1/5/2014

Truly a sight to see!  I'm just mad at myself that I didn't get there earlier because I couldn't take in all the exhibitions. But it was beautiful, clean, and staff were very friendly. Except the woman who laughed at my Banana Republic credit card until she realized it was a Visa. Dee-dit-dee lady.

The tram ride was fun. Even though the area gets quite packed, it doesn't feel that way since there are so many buildings and hang-out spots. Cool selections of 17th, 18th, and 19th century art. The overall architecture is a bit random but really unique and visually appealing. Parking isn't too difficult. Great, great, great grass (very well-maintained).

2/11/2013

I love The Getty. I've been coming here every few years since I was a kid.

The great thing about this museum is that you can look artwork up online to see if it's available for viewing or if it's in storage for the moment. There's nothing more depressing than driving up there to discover that the painting you wanted to see is not currently on view.

My favorite area is the furniture and tapestry area. It's a lovely reminder that the civilization has forsaken craftsmanship and beauty in the name of a quick buck.

To see beautiful "Irises" or a Monet for just $15 is astounding and the revolving exhibits mean something new each visit. If you truly love and appreciate art, this is a steal.

3/24/2013

WWow. This place screams money. I mean.
A fancy place from beginning to end.
You have the choice of either walking up a hill or taking a fancy tram up to the Getty, I mean, I was already impressed.
The layout is amazing with incredible views. We got there around sunset, so it was just amazing.
Everything is set up nicely, but it would be nice if they could display the current exhibitions a little better, like who knows where the lower terrace is? You don't know where everything is until you kind of get into it, but no complaints, it would be a great place for a date, so sexy. So sexy.
The fact that it's free is another bonus and after 5 parking is only $10, you can't beat that at all. The later hours on Saturday make so much sense ( keep up Brooklyn Museum) for those that have to work during the week...

10/22/2013

Large and beautiful. What more can I say?

Parking is $15 and if you are using Apple maps to get here, DON'T. It took me in a circle. Like I was in the area but I wasn't quite there. Bleh. Go north on Sepulveda and turn left onto Getty Center Drive. Save the stress. :)

Alot of sculptures from Greek and Roman Mythology. Some Renaissance paintings as well. I also saw aristocratic French interior designs. Overall this was a fairly large museum and I was here for two hours - before closing. I needed much more than two hours. Do plan on spending half a day here.

The Getty Store closes at 6pm which is nice because I went straight there after the museum closed - I bought a book on Greek and Roman Mythology and it was the most impressive collection I have ever seen. Icarus and Daedalus, Demeter and Persephone, Hades, Zeus, Aphrodite, Poseidon, the list goes on, they are all there - complete with pictures! I couldn't put it down it was (and still is) a great book.

I am so coming back to this place with a picnic basket, some Moscato, and a blanket. Too bad I didn't get to see the garden but it's a damn good excuse to come back.

9/16/2013

Love the scenery, love the art, love the whole vibe I get whenever I am there. They have a generous amount of grass area where you can picnic.  They have restaurants and a musuem store available. Also, they have a shuttle provided for you to go up to the center. A great place for family, dates, being a loner LOL, or just wanting to admire great eye candy :). Definitely a must go.

4/28/2014

I had never been, but will highly recommend it to anyone! Definitely a must see in the LA area. The views were breathtaking, and we got really lucky on a clear day, we could see all the way to the ocean. The exhibits were nice, and the architecture and gardens magnificent.

7/18/2014

Wonderful!!!   Such a beautiful museum complex.   Perfect way to spend pur one day in Los Angeles.

1/8/2014

This museum is FREE no reservations but there is a 15 dollar parking charge. The Getty itself is an absolutely stunning work of architecture, with a breathtakingly colorful courtyard.

You have to option to borrow an ipod with headphones, on which you would type an art piece's corresponding number and hear a virtual tour guide explain the history of the piece. Rich, rich stuff. I cant wrap my head around how someone would make tapestries so large and intricate by hand.

8/1/2013

This is "a must" for every visitor and a "you must be insane" if you live here and haven't been yet.  Even if  you don't like museums this is one of the best views in Los Angeles.  You can see all the way to downtown, then turn your head and see Catalina.  Your amazing day begins the moment after you park. BTW parking is $15, but no entrance fee.  

Moving forward, you will hop on an amazing tram that will unveil a wonderful view of Los Angeles as you journey up the hill to the museum.  

One you hit the lobby there are lots of amazing options.  For first timers there is a video  presentation overview on the right side of the lobby. It's pretty interesting to see how this amazing building was built and the family history behind the museum. The information desk will give you a schedule for the day of docent tours of the garden, architecture and showrooms.  I always love to trade in my photo ID for a complimentary IPOD which will guide you through the museum. I have been here a dozen times but still love to punch in the identity number on the artwork to hear the story behind the piece. Sometimes you may learn about history, sometimes about social stature or even family drama.  Each work of art becomes more than a pretty object once you hear the story surrounding the creation.

My favorite recent discovery was hidden around a corner.  I turned and suddenly there was a Degas painting that I have seen in every ballet school since I was a child.  Next favorite is a picture of cupid trying to shoot an arrow at a girl who is resisting.  Van Gough's pieces are amazing as everyone says.  You have to see his Irises when you visit.  That showroom is one of my favorites with works from Monet, Manet and Renoir.  

For families, discover a wonderful room just for you filled with hands on interactive games incorporating the most famous pieces in the Getty's collection.  I had fun dressing up in the period costumes.

Eating here can be kind of pricey.  Nobody checks your bag on the way in so you could bring your own water and goodies.  If you have to buy something from the cafe be ready to fork out some cash. We grabbed an ice coffee, bottled water and banana for $8.  The restaurant runs about $18 to $25 per entree but is worth it.  The view is magnificent with a fine dinning feel. Super idea for a special date.  

Don't miss out on the gardens.  I could spend a day here with at least 15 minutes dedicated to rolling down the hill like a child.  The lawn is huge and inviting.  Makes you feel like you are Alice in Wonderland.

2/23/2013

Yes. I'm an artsy fartsy person who loves museums and staring at art pieces that don't make sense to anyone and pretending I know exactly what it means. I don't deny it.

So you can imagine... when I came up, I almost had a heart attack. This place is a art snob's version of heaven.

It costs about $15 to park there (and it is VERY crowded). Yes. Pricy. But I feel it's fair since... ADMISSION IS FREE. You take a tram up the mountain to this art snob's paradise.

The architecture here is amazing. Everything is made to human scale (they have a line running through the whole complex at the average height of a human person... things you learn from attending architecture tours :P).

There are all sorts of exhibits you can visit with tons of art from different eras.

BUT that is, if you get in there... because honestly, I could just hang out in their gardens, which are beautiful. They overlook all of LA, and the sunsets there are amazing.

This place is a treasure, and I intend to return there again.

7/30/2013

Such a treasure. Even for non-culture mavens the Getty Center and its sister Villa are must sees when visiting LA. If you're a SoCal resident and have never visited you should be ashamed. These are absolute jewels in a land of sand, palm trees, asphalt, and strip malls.
The architecture: stunning contemporary white marble. The Central Garden is simply amazing and a work of art in itself.
The museum's collection focuses on early European paintings, drawings, sculpture.
Of course, van Gogh's famous "Ireses" is here.
Panoramic views of LA are breathtaking.
You should make a day out of going to both the Center and Villa. Free admission, parking at $15 and you can hit both places for that (except Mon.+Tues.).

Most old-time oil tycoons had few redeeming qualities. We should all be thankful to Jean Paul Getty and the Getty Trust for making these world-class facilities available to everybody.

11/28/2013

I'm an LA tourist (take that for what you will) so this is based off of a solitary visit. But if you too are an LA tourist, maybe this will help.

Most people like to go to art museums to look at art, fancy that. In Getty Center's case, it ain't necessarily so. The permanent collection, while comprehensive in the Western art tradition up to the 20th Century, was nice to see but doesn't really land any knock-out punches relative to my tastes. James Ensor's "Christ a Entering Jerusalem" is probably their most significant painting. The Van Gogh is surely their most popular painting. And the manuscript section was probably my favorite thing. But that's me. If you're penciling in one museum on your itinerary, I'd pick LACMA no contest. As the Thyssen-Bornemisza is to the Prado, if you want me to get all pretentious on ya.

That said, there's a special exhibition on featuring stained-glass windows from Canterbury Cathedral and unbound pages from the illuminated St Albans Psalter. This show is AMAZING and far from your typical show. I will tell you it was this alone that caused me to buy two tickets to Los Angeles, no fooling. If this is indicative of their exhibitions, then that tilts things somewhat.

But as mentioned, it seems a lot of people just come to enjoy the Richard Meier architecture and the gardens and the views looking 360 at the ocean, the canyons, downtown, and yes the 405. And I enjoyed that too, particularly with a 4:45 sunset that I killed my camera battery with. Though I probably wouldn't make the drive and pay the parking to primarily look at scenery. If you would, though, you may as well visit Getty Villa on the same day since you can same-day park at both for the price of one (validation necessary at Customer Service). Then you can get a glimpse of two lovely museum designs over two millennia.

So, 3 stars for permanent, 5 for exhibition, and 4 for locale. What say you?

3/23/2013

Consisting of multiple inter-connected buildings on a hill, The Getty has a large collection of art that it's easy to spend a whole day here. The staff at the info kiosk are helpful and have a great sense of humor. They offer a free iPod touch tour  "GettyGuide" that you can use to get more information / audio guide on some of the artwork.

You'll find a number of notable pieces here, such as Irises (van Gogh), The Abduction of Europa (Rembrandt), etc. There's also a collection of furniture and decorative arts, which I enjoyed very much.

In addition, The Getty offers a wonderful panoramic view of the city. It's not to miss!

4/15/2014

This is such an amazing place to go. I take most guests visiting me in town here if they have more than 3 days. It's gorgeous, modern and has amazing views. It's somewhere you could spend 1 hour or 3 hours, depending on what your interests are. It's not overloaded with art (which may turn off those who don't like museums). It has just enough plus the amazing garden below...as well as those views...to satisfy almost anyone. Getty has a bit of everything!

This is a great spot for families or a date or even strolling alone. (or with friends). Some of the best photo-ops in the LA area are from the many observation decks at the Getty. Make sure you get here if you are in town. The only charge is for parking so it's also a great deal to see something amazing!!

5/18/2014

This was a lovely experience. Parking was $10 I believe. Make sure you remember where you parked. You pay for parking at one of the machines by the elevators. The entrance is free. They have an itouch for rent if you want to go on a guided tour. There's lots of beautiful artwork and objects. There's a food court as well. They also have an outside area. Although this museum is open to the public, I'd say this is better suited for a mature audience considering that most children can only look at paintings for so long :P be sure to take the ten minute survey after your visit. Ten dollars is donated for every survey submitted.

7/20/2014

A lot of different art, some more interesting than others. Didn't seem to have too much contemporary art. Sculptures, rooms, and objects from the past were pretty cool. Free audio guide which was helpful.  Garden was nice, and there were places where you could see LA in the background

7/11/2014

As charming as this museum may be (beautiful location and the architecture is a breath of fresh air compared to the classic but very traditional museums like the Smithsonians), I cannot give it more than three stars.  Last week, a friend from out of town and I visited and there were three instances of completely bizarre and unwarranted rudeness from the staff.

The first was when my friend went to one of the little cafe kiosks.  There were two employees working and as we weaved through the red line, we came to a corner where a staff member was giving directions to a customer.  Unsure as to what to do, my friend hesitated for a bit, before edging behind him (as there were two employees working and no other people in line).  Immediately, the gentleman whirled around, held out his hand to my friend, and said loudly, "Excuse me, stop. I am in line. You can wait." It was really shocking.  My friend apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if you were in line--I just need a bottle of water." He ignored her completely and spent the next several minutes giving directions while the two of us awkwardly stood there.

The second and third time were both due to major attitude issues by gallery staff.  My friend and I are not inexperienced museum goers, and I don't think any top museum I've been to would ever staff such poorly-trained, ill-mannered staff.  There are clearly some power-tripping employees over there, which is a shame, since it's a real blemish on an otherwise worthy institution.

10/25/2013

This place is beautiful and tranquil and peaceful, but I couldn't maintain my excitement for the 2 hours I was there. I couldn't appreciate the art, which I was sad about, but I appreciated the external features of the museum--modern built of the building and the gardens they created. I love how you can enjoy the sun out on the grass with some food and drinks. This is certainly something to see if you're a tourist or even if you're a local resident

10/24/2014

Beautiful escape from LA. Large collection of impressionist paintings and interesting modern collections. Free admission. Scenic tram ride to museum. Lovely gardens and panoramic views of LA.

10/26/2014

Great location, building, garden, art, and food. I hope I can visit this place more often.

10/28/2013

What is there to say?  The Getty Center is beautiful, elegant, well kept, and full of amazing pieces of art.  As a fan of architecture, the buildings themselves are quite amazing pieces of work.  You can bring a backpack of wine and cheese and a blanket and spread out on the grass and relax with a date or friends.  You can take photos of their amazing gardens.  

And do not even get me started on the views of LA.  Beautiful.  You hear me say it often, and this time will be no different...I love our city.

Parking is $15 but hey, admission is free, so between four people it's basically $3.75 admission give or take.

There isn't enough to say about the Getty Center.  They put on different Gala's often and there is always something new to see there.  One of my favorite spots in LA to be quite frank and when people come to visit it's always one of the places I tell them that they need to go.

I give the Getty Center a rather obvious 5 out of 5 stars.

12/2/2013

I was surprised by the awesome view of LA that getty center offers. There is less art collection then I anticipated, but the ones they have are really nice and impressive.

It only took us around 2-3 hours to finish. For the low fee, nice view of LA and nice art collection, it is definitely worth visiting when you are in LA!

7/4/2014

Great sunset view, nice architecture and rich European art. Parking is cheap and it's only a 15 bus from UCLA. If you have a friend that even remotely likes art or just rich looking decorations, you'll enjoy a visit here!

10/14/2013

Every time I've been there it's been a nice experience. We get together with friends to check out the artwork and having a nice picnic lunch. I like how we can bring whatever we want for a picnic. I believe we brought a whole cooler (it's been a while since I've been there) but it is a bit of a trek from the fwy. I also like how spacious the place is. There may be a line just to get to the parking lot.
