the Rubicon Project Reviews

We had a good time at the Getty. It's about what you'd expect for a giant art museum: a lot of walking around and a lot of cool art and exhibits. The extreme variety of people there were almost as interesting as the art.

One particular exhibit had a section that had a lot of nudity. Not classical, renaissance type nudity, but rather modern, distasteful nudity. There were no signs or plaques that warned us that we'd run into that and it caught us off guard. Although this art may be appreciated by some, it's not appreciated by all and proper advisement of such art would have been most welcome.

What a stunning place! At first I thought it was an example of the "brutalist" school of architecture, but as the sun began to go down the light reflecting off the pale stone and white walls became warm. We went to see the Manet exhibition - not a favourite painter but worth the effort. Most fun was in the Early Christian rooms - wonderful altarpieces and Madonnas, particularly two beauties by Simone Martini. Excellent day!

Its really cool. Like a movie set of the future or antideluvian times. Has a tram. Lots of plants. Its nice.

Incredible place to spend the day with family and friends

Apart from world-class art, the structure itself is spectacular. A full view of LA, from Santa Monica to Malibu. I had my phone out half the time taking photos. This museum is a must-see.

The train was fun along the freeway, I like the unique way it takes you to the museum. The museum is so big so plan ahead your trip to be able to see it all, it also had some beautiful garden. Some places inside the museum you cannot take pictures I think that would be the down side, besides that everything was good, had a really good time.

So much to see with so little time, got to come back again but early to be able to see more, hopefully.

I don't know how you can say anything bad about this place. Everything is well maintained and in a beautiful setting. My only gripe is that I wish that they had more ethnic food choices, but other than that everything is good. They even have cool music programs during the summer.

The Getty is such an amazing place, make sure you have the whole day and a water bottle!!!

very interesting art museum in an unbelievable setting

Great experience. Lots to see, not expensive at all. Definately worth spending time here.

Great views of Los Angeles and the art isn't too shabby either.

Best art in all of Los Angeles. That's all I have to say .

Recommend starting in the upstairs of the north pavilion and working your way through the buildings for a really good chronological tour of European art. Great all through but the impressionists are the highlights, Monet, van Gogh, some of the best

Surpassed all of my expectations. Beautiful grounds and friendly, accommodating staff. If you appreciate arts and architecture, you'll appreciate the quality product The Getty center offers. The best way to find out if this is a fit for your interests is to check out their website and see the exhibits they are currently offering.

The only fee for entry was a modest parking fee. Well worth the price.

An amazing collection that is unmatched in the State of California. Some of the finest art in the world and able to get up close and intimate with priceless art pieces.

Really beautiful place with nice views of LA as well as so many beautiful buildings and plants

It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood in close proximity to the heart of the Castro and at first glance, you might be skeptical. I thought the slides looked way dinkier than I had imagined and thought, "How is this going to be exciting?" But then I proved myself wrong.

This place is so incredible. The art and the grounds are truly breathtaking.

I really enjoyed this place because of the different types of art displayed here. They were also organized by type of art, for each separate building and floor. If you happen to stay close to the closing time, watch out for the sunset, the unnamed master piece of the Getty Center.

A wonderful free museum! Great for families with older children and travelers!

So much to see and do and not enough time!! Beautiful scenery. Something for everyone.

Beautiful campus, even my 10 year old daughter enjoyed exhibits, the parking and shuttle were easy and accessible.

Wonderful place with great exhibits. Very friendly staff helping you on your museum experience. Take a stroll in the garden. Enjoy the relaxation.

Love this museum been here a couple of times and is always outstanding and beautiful highly recommend it if you are an art lover

I love coming here. It's peaceful in a chaotic city.

The Getty Center is a beautiful place to visit. Aside from the $15 parking fee, everything is free. So in case you visit on a bus, your entry is free. The Getty Center is located on a hill owned by the Getty foundation and houses some of the most beautiful pieces of art. You can get lost for hours together inside this amazing museum, enjoying and immersing yourself into the beauty of the art, the museum and the atmosphere. A beautiful place to visit with fellow art lovers.

Great views both inside and outside the museum. A great place to visit in the afternoon.

Amazingly beautiful !!

One of the must visit places in LA, we have spent almost 5 Hrs there..amazing collection of paintings..we really enjoyed being there..stunning gardens , City views and a lot of photographic moments..we opted for a guided tour and it was very informative about the paintings and the property..excellent maintenance by the staff...really recommend to visit "The Getty"

modern architecture, hosting some nice ancient artifacts. Many wow moments, especially when visiting furniture and painting area.

Frequent and nice tram rides to the TOP of hill, providing nice views down at LA city.

Supposed to be free but parking cost $20 beyond first hour. Sneaky way to generate revenue, no one can complete the tour in one hour. But I understand it s fair to make money somehow, for something this beautiful.

The Getty is a great place to just relax and see all the art, do yourself a favor a take a few hours to go through it all, it is amazing.

This museum is beautifully curated with a selection of art from all over the world. On my most recent visit, they had a temporary exhibit of painstakingly accurately simulated Buddhist caves.

We started with the Garden Tour and I highly recommend it. The tour guide knew everything and kept our interest through the 45 minute tour. Parking was easy. It's no cost to visit the Getty and it's about $20.00 for parking. There is so much to see, it definitely is worth it.

The must!! Nice landscape!!
Nice panorama view of LA!!

Loved it! Was able to walk around for hours on my own and learn. Though, I couldn't rent a self guided tour because my license was stolen the week before

Amazing location! Easy to get parking and take the small train to arrive at the museum. The view, the building and the bar are amazing

Free admission, not parking. Take a tramp to reach museum uphills. Ask for smart phone and hearing sets if you want to know paintings more. Each building has its own topics. Central Garden is another interesting site here.

Very interesting place where we can spent whole day for enjoining arts and exhibitions. Moreover, we can relax and see a nice view of Los Angeles.

I love this museum. Every time I have guests who travel overseas, I always bring them here. The place is very beautiful. You can see a lot of things in this museum.

Great view, the whole building is a master piece of art by itself, free, lots of additional event, and amazing collection of art. A must see.

My family love here, children can find their favorite programs, adults enjoy art works.

Great location with interesting buildings and a beautiful garden. Art from around the world is well presented.

The art was better than I imagined. Van Gogh irises and Renoir paintings blew my mind.

This place really is amazing. Admission is free!! They had incredible art and architecture, and everything from their helpful staff to their amazing view of LA is just perfect. If you have any interest in art and are in the area then I highly recommend going. You won't regret it.

Amazing art museum. I like original painting of Van Gogh, Monet,.. And I like original dresses of Chanel, Mcquinn, Dior,..

Lots to see ! Every kind of art is displayed in all building's. A must stop visit! Recommendation, don't drive a large truck or vehicle. Parking is in a structure and narrow spaces and most of all , low clearance! $20. For parking in structure, walk to an area to take free shuttle up to the Getty. Fabulous !

Amazing experience! The layout and build makes it magical to walk around. It's ease and architecture are easy for all people to maneuver thru. The art rooms are laid out so that many people can view and not be in the way each other. And the noise level is a nice talking level. There is nothing like standing in front of 2000 year old item to put your life in perspective.

Big and filled with stuff to look at inside and outside, food court could be better but there are a lot of options

The Getty is a legend and has so many different things to visit. Great expositions. Great staff. Very clean environment. Very beautiful views. You can watch over whole Los Angeles from here, it's very beautiful.

One of the best places in Los Angeles. Nice exhibits, great views, gardens and fun activities for kids

Amazing garden, beautiful architecture, and a great view!

Awesome art gallery! Free admission with $15 parking. Beautiful views, amazing architecture, and an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures with free tours.

A must visit for anyone in L.A., Spectacular art museum and more. Kid stuff and excellent gardens. Food and beverages.

Gotta visit it at least once..Beautiful Art pieces.

Love it! So much to see and experience. You can't do it all on one day.

Totally worth it. You just have to pay $15 parking. Beautiful.

Free and beautiful views of the city. I'm less of a fan of older European art, but the architecture and setting more than make up for it. If you haven't been, set aside two and a half hours. The tram up is something I've never seen in a museum before.

Beautiful architecture and landscaping. You have to take a shuttle up the mountain so you feel a bit removed from the huge city of LA. Great view of the city and surrounding neighborhoods.

From the moment you arrive here, you're just in awe. The building is impressive, the artwork is amazing and the garden is beautiful. It's worth visiting over and over again.

It s so beautiful and worth it! I m not into art much but my breath was taken away many times. I had to give 4 stars because the security guards in each room are very rude. They just stare/follow only certain people based on how you look. I noticed they would follow us a lot more than others. I think that s discrimination. Mind you we didn t do anything wrong. Awful people to encounter at such a beautiful place. Other than that just set enough time aside to explore. There s hours worth of beautiful art to see. The museum is free but you must pay for parking which is $15 before 3pm and $10 after 3pm. I highly recommend going!

I was very surprised how good this place is.
Go there!!!

Wonderful collections to view. Great views and beautiful gardens

15 dollars for parking
Amazing gardens and cool architecture
Sadly because it was raining the gardens closed around noon.

Its a wonderful place to immerse yourself in and its not too crowded. I suggest the sketching gallery if you're interested in drawing. The garden is a wonderful spot to photograph the plants and greenery. The employees are fairly friendly and tours are usually free. Good place for family trips.

Awesome place, everybody needs to go. Be sure to take your camera, is a must. Will take 2 or more days to get the full insight of this facility...Be sure to bring some good walking shoes.

Everything about this place is amazing. Definitely recommend visiting. Plan on spending a minimum of 4 - 5 hours to take everything in. Lots of art and amazing views.

Parking is $15 and entry is free.

Great books for kids in the gift shop.

Fantastic architecture and world class art collection. Just pay to park, free entry.

Amazing collections and architecture. Can be crowded, but it's free and worth the trip.

Lovely grounds with some excellent art on display without any entrance fee. Be sure to factor in the $20 parking, though. And I recommend packing a snack.

Absolutely lovely. The architecture is breathtaking and magnifique. Definitely visit if you are in the area

Loved everything about it except the high cost of parking. Gorgeous buildings, views, art. Don't miss it!

Nice museum to see. Good ambient and a lot of artists.

Worth the trip just for the building and the garden alone

Can't describe how beautiful and how awesome this place is.
