What we say

An L.A. Art Landmark

Art museums may be a dime a dozen in big cities, but no other city has a Getty. The J. Paul Getty Museum, part of the grand Getty Center, showcases world-famous classical art in an architecturally renowned complex. The site and the modern architecture that graces it are worth the trip alone. A menu-sized list of tours is available with focus ranging from exhibition talks to the Masterpiece of the Week program.

The grounds, gardens are magnificent. Took Mom here on a recent visit and we all just enjoyed it immensely. One of the real great Museums of the world. She was in a wheelchair and everything about the experience was comfortable and was easy to maneuver.

Just OK for me

I feel almost controversial giving an art museum only 3 stars. But The Getty just doesn't rise to the level of a world-class art museum in my mind. First, I find the location (set on top of a mountain) as aloof and elitist. Second, I find the architecture of the buildings to be cold and almost sterile. And third, the art itself is pretty much limited to classical pieces (not my favorite). Sorry, but I just wasn't wowed by The Getty.
