Not a truly art fan but this is a worthy trip for everyone visiting California for sure
It s free and has great views. Excellent point to go in a sunny, cool day and lay on the grass.
Also there is audioguide in different languages so it was very helpful
I d recommend attending early as it gets crowded
What can I say that is bad about this place? It's beautiful, air conditioned and not crowded on weekdays. I suggest 8 hours to see everything.
Great place to appreciate art and get away from the craziness that is LA
Went on a Sunday afternoon. The weather was perfect. The display of art was outstanding. The gardens were a nice unexpected surprise. The views were spectacular.
Great variety of art and antiquities. There's always something new to see thanks to rotating exhibits. The garden is beautiful.
Beautiful garden with sound, water and plants. Many fabulous arts. I want to visit there again!
Getty Museum is an amazing place for people who love painting, sculptures and arts. The collection of historic artifacts is mins blowing. It will take atleast half a day yo tour the place. It is a free museum only thing you pay is parking so if you take Lyft or Uber there is no expense. View of the city is amazing from the museum.
Awesome Gallery! Definitely worth your time to stop for a day. The food is very expensive BTW
The Getty House Foundation and Museum is a must see for locals and tourists alike. The many views are breathtaking, the museum pieces will open up your eyes to history, and each visit offers a different perspective. Plan a visit if you can. Have lunch in their beautiful cafe, take your family for a great outing for just the cost of parking. You won t regret it.
Hadn't been there in years but always a very special place to go. We always have a blast.
Amazing, beautiful location. The Getty is truly a gift to society. The parking fee is reasonable, considering entrance to the museum is free.
Absolutely amazing.......a must on your what to do places to go
Awesome museum. Great view and exhibits. However, the train line can get very long on weekends. I walked down the hill when leaving, which was a pretty nice walk and has good view.
Amazing grandeur of a private collection. Magnanimous person in the service of humanity
Great exhibits, wonderful views, free admission, parking $15.00
I feel so much less like an idiot now that I've come here to look at sophisticated works of art
An amazing setting with great views across LA. Well worth the $20 charge for parking. Free tours of the buildings and grounds. Spent several hours here just wandering around.
Wonderful modern museum with a unique architecture and view over the city.
Amazing collections and exhibits. If you are the type of person who likes to take your time, I really recommend getting the audio guide. Food available on premises.
Bring your own food this place has very disorganized hours for there restaurants
Beautiful place, great exhibitions, entrance is free!
Insane postmodern baroque museum complex. Everything here screams exhuberance. Good collection and historical exhibits. A must if you come to LA. And it's free!
This takes at least all day to go through, and you wont have enough time to see everything you want. Amazing place not to be missed!
An outstanding cultural experience in LA. The building's architect is stunning.
This place has lot to give to its customers as this one is one of the best museums in our town! But I did not like the place because I was bit skeptical about the place as my son suggested me to go here. I did not find their art to be the fantastic one! their collection is not superb and I dont know what this hype all about! people have given 5 star to this place but I am not giving them 5 because I have traveled to so many museums around the world but this is not up to the mark when you compare with them!! Sorry guys for 3 stars as this is not your mistake but The Getty did not made me feel to give 5 star!
Absolutely incredible. Everything from the art to the staff and of course the views has made the Getty one of the most memorable museums I have ever experienced!
Great views, architecture, and it's all free. One of my favorite places to take friends / family when they visit LA.
Amazing art preserved perfectly. Staff is super nice and helpful and the views are the best in LA.
How many treasures are in the collection of one man amazing
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I ALWAYS take visiting friends & relatives. They are so surprised of just how beautiful it is and are in awe of the art collections & exhibits. IT'S A MUST GO TO AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!
very cool in my opinion nice place for a date or with kids and family.
The best thing in Los Angeles and it's free. Beautiful architecture and garden beside the great art exhibits . It's yours to enjoy. Go early to avoid the long line to the parking structure.
It's one of the best museums on Earth. Check out the exhibits attached to the research library. The permanent collection is fantastic.
Great museum with amazing views to spend the whole day, even with the family.
This was my first time to the Getty. The parking was effortless but somewhat expensive at $20 a pop. The tram ride was fun and give a hint to the spectacular views I would find it at the top of the hill. We ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious and then we walked around the gardens which, even in Winter, still held beautiful flowers and intricate designs. They have some amazing artwork and showcased several of the most famous names in art. We didn't make it through all the buildings but I will definitely go back as there's so much to see. Give yourself several hours if you intend to see all of the exhibits. It did get very crowded in the afternoon so I do recommend going earlier in the day.
Fancy place. Plus it's free! Parking is $20, it's cheaper if you come later but since the museum is free, the parking price is nominal. I really like the tram ride up. Cool view of the 405 and houses on the hill.
They have seasonal exhibits and permanent ones. They offer complimentary self guided tours on ipod touches but I didn't care for it. Talks for about 2 minutes about each painting which is longer than I care to stare at each one. I recommend finding something you like and some items have a corresponding number to punch in and hear about. They have art, sculptures, furniture, gardens, the list goes on.
Restrooms and elevators can be hard to find but they have people everywhere so that helps.
Their cafe food was mediocre. Cafeteria style. I did appreciate the variety of food choices. Sounds funny but the most impressive was the condiments section. They have literally every topping you could think of. Everything from dijon mustard, chalula, parmesan cheese, lemons, relish etc etc etc. Last time I was here I went to the restaurant. It's a little more expensive but it was much better.
Overall, highly recommend. Great art and great view of the city.
everything is great but you guys need more gardens to look around
Lovely place. The architecture is amazing. Nice LA view and good art. Entrace is free but parking is 15.0p
This museum is absolutely amazing, one of the greatest in the world. This is a must-see for everybody visiting L.A.!
The Getty Center is a great place to visit even if you do not know a great deal about art and paintings. They offer different kinds of free tours which are very informative and help you appreciate what you see. Each tour focusses on one of Getty Center's architecture, the gardens or the paintings and lasts 30-60 mins. Each tour is offered 3-4 times every day. You're given a handout that lists the schedule of the tours for the day. They have a cafe that provides several options and a more expensive restaurant. I loved how organized everything was and how committed they were to customer experience - it was a rainy day and lots of umbrellas were kept in stands for use by guests, there was a phone charging station for many types of phones that included lockers, disposal of used trays and plates at the cafe, and entry and exit from the tram were designed to be exceptionally hassle free.
Definitely a fun place to go to - they had great music on a Saturday night - the gardens were spectacular in addition to many exquisite art pieces! Would love to go back the next time I go to CA & visit! Hopefully it won't be as foggy next time! :)
Great views, fantastic architecture, very good collection of art. Joy to be there, a feast of style and beauty.
The Getty is just unreal. Not only you get to see and appreciate truly amazing pieces of art kept at this location, you get unbelievable 360 views of LA, surrounding areas and the Pacific ocean. Also worth to mention the monorail ride to take you from parking to the main center is nothing short of adorable. The gardens and the wide range of plants kept here is also mind-blowing. Free admission and $20 for parking. Highly recommended!
Proposal: No children under the age of 12 are allowed in museums.
The horrid parking situation is expected since its located in population dense california. The embarassment of contemporary/modern art is also expected due to the parasitic influence of the impressionists which lead to a decrease of discipline in the arts. These things are bearable not too bad, but what I cant stand are the kids. Especially when they're screaming and imposing a danger to the art. I get the reason why bringing a kid to an art museum is important, its to instill an interest of art to them. However, now this is just a thought, what if those kids just learned it in school and on their freetime out of their own freewill visited that museum. Just a thought. Would save my teeth from being grinded into a fine powder, thank you.
It's huge and overwhelming! You have to spend the whole day here to see everything. Beautiful views, beautiful art, beautiful garden. The garden is a great place to take a break.
Such an interesting place got to be in awe of everything they have painting sculpting everything can't see it all in one day
a time well spend but parking is too expensive 20 dollars
Marvellous. A must go visit if you happen to be in LA. The range of elements in exhibition is amazing.
An impressive collection of art done in many media and periods displayed in incredible architectural buildings which draw on natural light and stone to highlight the works, all set on a paradise hill-top sanctuary with an unbeatable vista amidst gardens worthy of the classics themselves. Free. A must.
Free entry but not free parking.
Extraordinary building with some nice exhibitions.
Open to anyone!
After a quick bag check (as expected), you are taken by tram through the scenic hills of Los Angeles to the hidden paradise that is The Getty Center. The whole feel of the place is utopian and it s incredibly clean throughout. Learn about Getty s life and family, and explore the gifts he s left for the world to see (in the form of art, photos and sculptures), completely free of charge, with guides and events included throughout the day
Would recommend this place to anyone visiting LA, it s just a pain to get to if you re using the buses, would recommend driving or using uber or lyft for getting there.
Staff at security were pretty darn rude and sexist, but otherwise this was a great experience.
Wow! You actually need 2 days here, as there is so much to see!
Beautiful scenery and art, kinda confusing when it comes to navigating
Beautiful place to visit. The gardens are incredible.
Amazing view, great value for family, and the art pieces and the garden were awesome. I had a really great time looking at the Chinese painted caves replicas.
Always will be one of my favorite Ghetto-Ways.... it not only incorporates beautiful minds with wonderful architecture. It brings to life the artwork passed down to us by older generations
Large collection of art, beautiful gardens, amazing view of the city and incredible architecture. Couldn't finish all in a day so I hope to come back again. Free admission, free audio guide, free monorail service. What more to ask?
SO PRETTY! The sculptures are gorgeous, and the courtyards outside are amazing!!! Loved the views, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend.
A free museum with art from around the world! The gardens are worth the visit alone... Be aware that some days they close fairly early. I would bring snacks as the cafes are quite expensive.
What an incredible place! Besides the numerous amount of art, it also has amazing garden and gorgeous view. The little walk to the museum has nice view of the city as well. It was like a trip to paradise.
Very beautiful architecture and great views all around!
I love the Getty, and it was a beautiful experience. Unfortunately, some galleries smelled so strongly of mildew that I couldn't explore them.
Seriously stunning grounds and works of art. Accesibility was clearly important, as I noticed elevators and railings nearly everywhere. Hard to fit it all in one day.
Visiting the Getty feels like a mini vacation! It's so tranquil and well designed, with many different areas to explore. There is ample parking, but be prepared to drive down a few levels in their parking garage. A clean and convenient elevator will take you up to the platform for boarding the tram .
Perfect place to spend a good few hours getting lost in. The garden is amazing and lots of info.
Amazing tours, great art pieces, spectacular views, and shockingly, it's all free. It's absolutely a must see
This museum is the best. It has a lot of art but because the galleries are stacked horizontally in towers you don't have to walk a country mile to see the entire thing.
What really sets this place apart is that they do an excellent job of teaching you about art. If you love impressionism or want to see great views of LA you need to see this.
Fun Musuim, has a lot of events going on inculding music bands.
A must when in L.A. Situated high up in the hills, the collection is impressive and diaplayed in many pavillions. Special exhibits and themes. The worlds best artists, classical and contemporary are featured and part of the impressive collection. Art lovers, you have been tagged.
We happen to stop by mistake and it was Beautiful, if you love art plus is Free entrance
