the Rubicon Project Reviews

I really enjoyed it. Beautiful museum and so many pictures and artifacts. The outside garden was pretty and was simply serenity.

Great Architecture, lovely views and amazing impressionist paintings. A must if you are close by. No entrance fee, only pay for parking a flat rate.

Free entrance, very ADA accessible, everything my daughter wanted to see was within reach. She enjoyed it and the service was great. You only pay for parking. Great atmosphere and the galleries are?gorgeous!

For us it took over 4 hours to explore fully. If you like art works then it's a must go place

Fantastic museum. Only wish I could have stayed longer

Getty was cool, staff were cool, but I'm salty about how I had to pay 20$ for parking when I left at closing..noone was there to check if I paid, so it felt pointless. I parked at the additional parking across the street that I was directed to by staff.

My kids love this place. The entrance is free. So there's no excuses. It is a must

Excellent museum. Parking was the only cost we had when visiting, other than gift shop and coffee. Excellent items on display, and the views and museum grounds were immaculate.

I consider it a must see if in LA, if you remotely enjoy museums.

The artwork here is absolutely amazing. This place is so large and magnificent that I could spend many days here. The views from the top of the hill are worth the trip alone. The guided tours are very interesting and informative and the cost of admission is absolutely perfect, free!

Nice, interesting and... Free! Great sevice and many options, tours, exhibitions..

A must see, if you're a local like me you can easily find yourself at The Getty two or more times a year and each time you will find everything new. I bring many of my visitors here and than I get to enjoy it again myself. Bring a little something to eat and make a little picnic on the lawn. You can get a cup of coffee to get a start to the day. Be ready to spend $5 for a cup. So bring lunch and save a little doe. Parking will cost you $20 But everything else is pretty much free, cool.

One of many museums in LA. Sadly I had very little time but an amazing place that you really need a whole day for.

One of the top destinations in Los Angeles, an area loaded with "top destinations". This museum is a combination of outstanding facilities, phenomenal views, and an excellent collection of art and antiquities. It isn't the most extensive collection, but it is still very, very good and try finding a museum with views as good as this one. Highly recommend.

Love that this place has various types of artwork to look at. You can admire the architectural design of the buildings and the beautiful landscape of the garden. Most people come to see the garden but don't forget the artwork inside.

Stunning collection of expensive and rare paintings! It's hard to believe that it's free, and that you can inspect the paintings so close. A great experience. No charge for admission, but $15 for parking and a tram takes you up the hill to the museum. The parking fee is good for the Villa Museum over in Malibu the same day which also has free admission

We had a nice visit in this beautiful Getty Museum!
Absolutely fabulous

Magnificent display of wealth, opulence and charity to share with the world.

Amazing place and free admission.
Family really enjoyed it.
Get there early. It gets super crowded.

This museum has enough amazing pieces to stimulate you for many many visits. This is a great place to go for a memorable trip on a tight budget. Bring a lunch and have a picnic.

Beautiful and awe inspiring architecture. The 2 temporary exhibits are well displayed and interpreted. I wish I would have a full day to explore the collections, garden and enjoy the vistas of LA.

The Getty Museum is a famous place .Interesting museum and beautiful park, we'll taken care of.

I'd never visited before. It was absolutely fascinating. Well worth the visit

Wonderful! I was visiting from the Philippines. My daughter brought me to the Getty for lunch and to view the different collections. One aftenoon isn't enough! I'll come back next time I visit my daughter and son-in-law.

Great place to Zen, read study or work remotely if you have signal lol. (TMobile and Verizon Seem to work fine here in most areas), lovely vistas of Santa Monica and excibitions. Depends on time of the year also a great spot for taking in the sunset before closing. There some snack, food and drink shops. $15 parking before 3pm and $10 after.
You can take the tram up the hill or an easy 10-15 minutes hike.
If you have a back pack of sorts be prepared to bag check.

Great views of LA! The garden is a must visit. Get there early as the parking lot gets full very fast.

Make sure that you have at least half day to visit this place. No entry fees. If you go by car you only have to pay for parking. You can take a tram and go uphill to visit the museum. You get a nice panaromic view uphill. The museum has 5 sections and filled with amazing art pieces.

Beautiful architecture and excellent exhibits. Food is expensive and unremarkable

We spent the whole day. Perfect. Incredible that there's no entrance fee.

The museum is a treasure trove of rare artwork. Allow ample time here to truly enjoy all that they have to offer. Also check the website for special activities for all age levels. The location is on a hill overlooking the pacific ocean so have a coat with you for those days when the coastal marine layer is keeping it cool.

What can I say. First class museum. Could spend days seeing all of the exhibits and relaxing outside enjoying the views.

WE LOVE GOING TO THE GETTY....my family and I always find the time during our free time to visit to see what s new on display at the museum or to the Villa. The tours are great!

Parking is limited and lines for the shuttle up to the building are long. Don't wear anything too fancy because you'll save a little time walking a mile uphill instead of taking the shuttle, and it can be tricky or less comfortable in dress attire. The Getty is located atop a hill overlooking the city and the ocean. Gorgeous views and landscape. Everything is of superior quality, with great attention to detail. There is so much to see and read that you could get lost in there for hours. Staff are attentive and friendly and most exhibits allow photographs. While bringing younger children may provide a great learning opportunity and exposure to the arts, it might be more suitable for older children, in order to fully appreciate the subtle notes of artistic flair and style, surrounding knowledge of the historical period, and stamina to take in seemingly thousands of exhibition pieces. All in all, would highly recommend as a tourist or local on a day trip, as exhibits rotate and you might get something new out of it or see something you missed each time you visit.

Free exibitions just pay parking, or park down the stree and go for free all together! Cant beat that! Great views and excellent place to spend with friends or family. Also a great spot for dates!

Everything felt clean and classy from the moment I pulled into the parking lot. Great experience for free admission! Only have to pay for parking.

Cool museum! Free museum, and tours. Check out either the gardening tour or the architecture tour.

Best deal on a museum ever. High class and awesome collection.

Great museum with a lot of open area. Getting into the parking lot was a bit of hassle because of the traffic. You don't need to pay for the museum, just price of parking. Place is so beautiful with great paintings and artifacts. The place can get busy but not busy enough to prevent you from visiting.

Super cool place. FYI, you do pay $20 for parking, so it s not totally free. But the museum itself had beautiful architecture and amazing views. Then the art itself is a nice collection with some dominant works.

I lot this store.great customer's service and High quality food.

Free to enter and very enjoyable and interesting place

One of the best museums I've ever visited. Exhibits are amazing!

Free to enter, just pay parking. Awesome views all around.

They could charge $30 admission and id still go. Great art pieces, beautiful architecture, picturesque views/garden. Plenty to see/do

A must if your visiting LA. Go for the art but you will be amazed by the views. From DTLA all the way to the beach.

Stunning architecture and wonderful exhibits. Great garden!

A beautiful gallery dedicated to cataloguing culture for future generations. 15$ parking fee if you arrive before 3:00pm and 10$ otherwise. No entry fee. Spend an hour, spend a day! Great restaurants also.

Wonderful museum overlooking Los Angeles with stunning artwork. The gardens outside are so nice as well.

Amazing view, awesome art collections, a definite stop for any trip to LA

This place is beyond expectation!
Not to mention for the admission free, (parking is $15 a day: you can also go and park at Getty Villa within the same date) the gardening, the exhibition, and the view are excellent.

The art display (particularly the Renaissance and 1700s art) was very nice, with some famous paintings (Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Monet) featured. There was also a large section on Louis XVI. There was a special exhibit on Hellenistic sculpture, and it featured the famous Arringatore statue of early Roman times. The museum was very large, and I did not like the architectural style of the place. The background music was very loud and objectionable.

Amazing place! Plan ahead to spend more time here because it s worth it!

Plan to spend the full day at the Getty. This museum is one of the best in the world. Everyone starts out with an orientation (yes, it's that big) which tells you the history of the space and that of the original one in Malibu.
You can borrow an iTouch which will give you the audio history of the art you are viewing by just pushing in some numbers. You must have an ID to borrow it. The campus also has free wifi for your use.
In the middle of your art walk, enjoy a meal at one of the many cafeterias, or bring your own picnic lunch. The prices are middle to high depending on which one you choose. I had a 1/2 soup/sandwich combo and it was around $11. Why they call it a combo when no drink was included is a mystery.
You can participate in active workshops where you can sketch paintings. Children will not be bored since they have lots of hands on things for them to do.
Since we are in a drought in California, some of the water fountains are off, and they do add to the charm.
Here's a fun fact: Star Trek (the new one) used the campus for filming. It was used as the Academy, mainly the outside. That is because it does have a very futuristic feel to it.

Couldn't believe it was free (except for parking). What an incredible value!

Found the photograph collection compellingly curated.
Viewing Van Gogh in person - priceless.

One of the best design by Richard Meir. Probably has the best collection of all private museums in the USA. Besides it is not crowded even having large crowd.

If you're a fan of art then this is a place to visit. Also a very GREAT view of the skyline.

I had an amazing time, the exhibits are simply wonderful, I especially loved the photography exhibit, such amazing art!

A must stop when visiting Los Angeles. Great art and fantastic rotating photography exhibition and permanent collection.
The views from the museum are gorgeous!

Aesthetically pleasing art museum and garden overlooking the LA metropolis. Admission is free, but parking is not. Not sure what the typical exhibit rotation is, but when I visited there was an eclectic collection ranging from Roman marble sculptures, modern concrete art, Renaissance oil paintings, and Latin American gold/ceramic ornaments.

People who work here as security especially Mexican old ladies, they are so so so so so mean and rude to visitors. I ain't gonna come back this place. Never.

Wonderful museum with a great collection of all kinds of art, a must for tourists

It's always a great day when I go to the Getty. Walking around the museum and getting a nice dinner after just makes a great time.

A perfect place to visit. A lot of art and history. The parking is 10 or 15 USD and the visit is for free. The views are amazing from here.

Beautiful and a great place to learn about art, and see a beautiful sunset.

Interesting repository of an eclectic collection of fine arts and sculptures. Well worth a visit!
