The grounds and the villa are at harmony with each other. The gardens and sculpture are restorative and unparalleled. There is a wonderful place where patrons are invited to offer a wish or prayer to Venus/Aphrodite by writing on a small card and hanging on the adjacent screen. The Getty Villa is more than a museum it is an experience and a get away from the hectic modern world. It is hard to imagine this museum being free to the public for all its offerings- both grand and simple pleasures.
