the Rubicon Project Reviews

A modern and beautiful museum in the L.A. area. Nice collections and a superb location. Lots of facilities for the guests and a very cheap price for the five stars Getty center.

Seriously if you don't give this museum who tf are you even? Always great and it's free so shhhh.

Spectacular artwork, architecture, garden, and views of LA county. Admission is free but parking could be up to $20 depending on when you go. Definitely worth it if you're in the West LA area.

Gorgeous, and quiet an extensive collection of masterpieces.

Visiting this museum is a must for an art enthusiast. Free admission, just pay for parking. Allow several hours to see the multiple exhibits, (Highlights audio tour recommended) the garden, and views of Los Angeles.

First visit here. Huge museum. Didn't have enough time or energy to see everything. Admission is free, however the food/drink prices & parking more than make up for it.

It's free . Just pay for parking. You could bring snacks. I will recommend do not bring little one as you can't admire in peace.

Gorgeous views, free admission. I just wish I had looked up what exhibits they "didn't" have or which ones were being changed out!

Awesome place. Its architecture meets nature at its best. I would have spent my entire LA visit contemplating this beauty. Great collection of artworks.

Stunning buildings and setting. Take the architecture tour. Visit the gardens.

It is an amazing thing to have something so beautiful and accessible so close to home. The artwork, sculptures, photographs, architecture, gardens, desert landscapes, furniture, etc., are beautiful beyond words. The fact that you can come in for the price of parking($20) or free if you Uber, that's icing on the cake. You can bring food for a picnic and have a nice time on the lawn overlooking the garden/stream. This is a not-so-hidden gem of L.A.

Pretty decent collection. Layout is confusing and lends itself to poor people flow

An absolute must if you are visiting the city. The view is incredible, looking over the west side.

So much art, definitely go here if you can. Also take a guild book as it will help you understand the objects better. Everything is organized and the way they use light to preserve thir paintings is brilliant.

One place with incredible view Art,History,
Shows,Architecture and more ....
You most to do

This museum sits atop a hill overlooking Los Angeles skyline and is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend visiting this exhibit

Beautiful collection of artwork. Wish I could have spent more time outside in the gardens, but the weather did not cooperate. The best part was that this museum was free to access.

Parking was a bummer but once we got and it was well worth the wait. Great views of the LA Skyline in the hills of LA.

It is beautiful! You only have to pay the parking. There is a tram to bring people from the parking to the exhibition buildings. Tons of paintings and drawings, ... to see. And you need more than one day to see everything.

Very worthwhile visit. Something for the entire family. .

Spectacular view of the city and interested art exhibit covering variety of art periods and art forms

We visited with no expectations at the recommendation of a local during our trip to Santa Monica and were so happy we did. The Getty is one of the most beautiful places I've been with so much to explore in terms of the landscaping, architecture, and visual art collections. I wish more places like the Getty existed around the country.

Fantastic museum. My wife and I visit the Getty whenever we get the opportunity. Never been disappointed.

It was my first time and I loved it .. such a beautiful and interesting place.. can't wait to go back..

Best museum that I have ever been! It is always clean and has classic modern look at the same time! Great place to take your family and friends. They offer free ride from parking lot to museum. I really wanted to do my wedding here but they don't allow weddings here. I heard they might take receptions though :)

Totally awesome place. Super clean and they have some amazing paintings and artifacts. Fun for family and friends. Can be very busy so be prepared to wait in a line when you arrive. Parking can take a while as well. But definitely recommend this place. Super cool.

Best museum in Los Angeles! Love the gardens, the architecture, and the artwork (especially the art in the West bldg)

Amazing place, w perfectly beautiful garden all round.Views spectacular to Santa Monica coastline

Great classical artwork and beautiful views of the city

The Getty Center was on our bucket list. We were not savvy and had our navigation direct us to the "Getty museum" -- don't do that as we ended up at the service entrance. Navigate to the Getty Center. The transportation from the parking garage via tram is very well organized. We visited on a Wednesday and the museum was not crowded. We started with the orientation video in the Entrance Hall. We wandered through the gardens, had lunch, and most notably had time to leisurely peruse masterpieces by Van Gogh, Manet, Renoir, Rembrandt, Renoir, and Monet.

Amazing museum.Great atmosphere, beautiful architecture & amazing collection of arts

Alternative to Disneyland, great place to go and it's free except for parking

Everyone should visit this amazing museum, such great art and views of Los Angeles.

The Getty Villa gets my five stars cause the staff made all the difference Both places have beautiful art and grounds but the caffe at the museum had poor quality food and the servers were rude overworked and did not match the grandeur of the place I ordered the veggie wrap when I complained to the server that it was hard as cardboard she said condescendingly that cause its vegan I am from San Francisco and I know what vegan is
Again I vote for the villa over the museum anyday

Excellent tourist spot. Situated in a marvelous location. Well maintained.

Neat place. Need a whole day to see the art exhibits, but if want to really look hard I would spend a couple days. Views are amazing.

Such a great treasure in LA, free to the public. It feels timeless in this place.

Nice museum to visit.
Also, free of charge.
Keep in mind that if you're gonna park there, it's paid parking.

What a place.... and its free... it was nice visit for my family... not enought time for everything bit it was fun. Educational. Beautiful place

This is a well designed and thought museum. The guides are very friendly and helpful and the exhibits very well presented. One day is not enough to experience everything. You should plan multiple visits where a whole day is allocated perhaps to seeing one or two sections.
Plan to have lunch and spend some time at the coffee shop looking at the views.
The gift store is a little pricey, but it's LA...

Great place to see and visit, very interesting stuff.

Magnificent! Except for this piece of metal that came off a structure of some sort. Which has no business being on display as a work of art. Brown triangular scrap metal..

Good selection of art. Fantastic views of la work the trip. Food offered was disappointing.

In addition to the wonderful exhibit I saw, Icons of Style: A Century of Fashion Photography, 1911-2011 I saw in the West Pavilion, Center for Photographs, I also toured the gardens, was inspired by a lot of well-dressed people, and went on an informative 15-minute talk Exhibition Spotlight Tour: Icons of Style .

For the 'not so artsy' person this was a very cool place. Views were beautiful. Art was nice

Breathtaking venue with mesmerizing style. The outside feels like a futuristic pedestrian downtown. Strong variety of art in all the exhibits constantly changing between different exhibits.

Came here for the 1st time amd loved it. I didn't check out the permanent collection because I didn't have time. But I spent two and a half hours intheir book of beasts exhibition. It was so fun to hear about how they came up with some of these creatures that I felt like I was Swept Away into a fairy tale. It was magical and I loved my experience

Absolutely love this place. You need to go here and spend some time exploring the grounds and the collections. Well worth the trip to and from Pasadena.

Stunning architecture, beautifully spaced out collection. Approachable on many levels.

Amazing place, don't get their late the restaurants are usually all closed by 3pm.

A good art museum with a wide variety of things for everyone. Music, furniture, paintings, and my favorite, photography.

This place is good for family visits. I enjoyed it. Lot of awesome artifacts and really old ones. they have a good collection. The Villa is build superbly all in Greek style.

I will say if you have some idea about Greek Mythology then you will appreciate this museum more. Fortunately I had some interest and background on that, so Enjoyed it more. You will be able to spend some decent amount of time here. Unfortunately the pool did not have any water because of the drought conditions in California.

Frankly speaking I have seen great museums in my life and I found this of decent and not too great but sure will recommend visiting at least ones. There is a good cafeteria inside and the parking cost is just 10-15$

The gardens and art galleries at The Getty are amazing. It's even more incredible that it's free (just pay for parking). On top of all that are great views of the surrounding area. Definitely give it a visit.

A place extremely relaxing, with art and nature and architecture wonderfully mixed-up

If you enjoy and appreciate art then this is a definite stop in LA. It's a very beautiful place. The architecture, the art pieces, the garden... It's all very picturesque. Perfect also for those who enjoy photography. We went here on a Saturday and there were a decent amount of people. Of course the room that attracted a crowd is the one with the Van Gogh. I must say, it was a show-stopper. A very beautiful piece. It's also in the same room as Monet. So yeah, it's a very crowded room. There are audio tours and maps when you enter the first building so you won't get lost and the art pieces will be easier to locate.

Great architecture and views with a wide array of art exhibits. We did pay for parking, but the museum itself is free. The gardens are very enjoyable as well.

So many beautiful exhibits! Great afternoon with the family. Had lunch at the cafe. I was able to get a burger with no bun and some sauteed brussel sprouts on the side. So Keto friendly options are there.

Awesome museum. Architecture and displays were great and interesting. Would 100% recommend that you visit. Free admission, you only need to pay for parking (10-15 depending on when you arrive).

Lot of lot of lot of masterpieces to see. Half a day wasn t enough. Definitely need a whole day to explore the entire museum complex. Last but not least I particularly liked the free iPod touch rental which guides you through the museum.

It was beautiful beyond belief!! I just wish there wasn't so many school kids at once haha. I felt like us adults were getting outnumbered

I'm stealing a comment from a friend - the building complex is more impressive than the art collection.

We visited the Getty museum on a Sunday, and realized quickly that one day is not enough to see the whole place. Amazing artwork, beautiful buildings, beautiful gardens and very good set up with guided and self guided tours! They even offer a really nice plain-air sketching class! This place is amazing and best of all, FREE! I would visit again and I would recommend going more than once just to be able to see everything! Go early, and bring your own food, because the restaurant is pricey, and bring it to the coat check room, so you don't have to get back to the parking lot to retrieve the food you brought and be stuck in the very long lines to get back up to the museum at lunch time. One more detail, that shows their attention to the patrons needs: by the coat check room there is a tiny lockers area where one can recharge the phone. Charging cords, digital locks and glass doors so you can leave the phone to charge while you look around the exhibits... I was amazed! We need more of that personal touch in the world!

Great place to come on a date or just to enjoy with friends or family, great City views all free except parking

One of the best museums I've ever been to. The landscaping. The architecture. The art work are all world class. This is a real gem and a trip to Los Angeles would be a shame if your trip didn't include a stop here. And you only have to pay for parking. I hope I'll be back!

Highly recommend you stop here if you are anywhere near the area.

We brought our sister to the museum on October 23rd. She is ill and unable to walk any distance. We were able to take the wheelchair waiting at the tram to the car and than wheel her onto the tram without difficulty. We were so pleased with the kind attention and alertness to our needs of all the staff as we found our way to elevators, had doors opened, and received big smiles as people assisted us. We were reassured that the tour she wanted to take was on one level and presented no problems. The day was very special for us as she may not be able to have another outing of this type again. What a gift you gave us! Please commend everyone there for their professional and courteous attention.

Fantastic place that is almost as beautiful itself architecturally as compared with the art it houses inside. Some of the views are quite literally billion dollar views!! HIGHLY recommended!!

Great museum with lots of special exhibits and regular guided tours. Admission is free, so the only cost is parking ($15 at time of writing). In addition to the art, the architecture and landscaping at the museum are simply amazing.

An amazing museum! It features classical Greco-Roman art, European art from the 1600-1800s, and an exhibit featuring photography and early print. Also shown is an exhibition centre with constantly changing artwork. And of course, there is the famed garden. Staff is friendly and restaurants there have good food. The museum, if you didn't know, is also free! A treasure to visit if you are takimg a professional tour(as I did) or just casually looking around.

One of my favorits paints is in this wonderful place

Such an incredible collection in a breathtaking, iconic architectural setting. And it's FREE (except for parking). What are you waiting for? Go!!

Great place. 15$ parking but free to enter with good are and amazing grounds and views. Food can be bought.

Plain jane, go if you like art and the garden was nice...otherwise plain

Wonderful mueseum. It is handicap accessible. It has two places you can eat at while at the nueseum. There is parking and you will have to pay. Overall the venue is amazing with various pieces from Van Gough and others.

The architecture was amazing as well as all the exhibits and gardens. Get there early for parking. You can easily spend the whole day there admiring the art and enjoying the gardens and water features throughout the property.

The Getty was always great and when they decided to become admission free full-time it was the icing on the cake. You cannot beat their public programming. Go. Now.

Absolutely a fantastic place to visit. I encourage anyone who goes there to take tours particularly if you have never been there before. Many visitng exhibits as well as permanent works to see. All for free!

Too crowded, parking line took an hour.
Don t go there during vacation time .
Its a missed experience

Definitely a great place for people of all ages to learn about culture and about art from the past .

This was an amazing trip! Free to get in but pay for parking. The landscapes are just as good as the art!
