the Rubicon Project Reviews

Very beautiful place to visit. It s really a bonus to the city.

One of my favorite museums in California! Fantastic art collection from different time periods, beautiful garden and great view.

World Class Museum. Entrance is free. Take the bus if you want to avoid paying the parking fee.

Even though it's a long drive from where I live it is well worth the trip. The cost is very low, you just need to pay for parking but the museum is free.

I have been coming here for 20 some years, it is incredible. I do not take for granted that this is one of the greatest wonders of museums, it is completely free (except food), and just extraordinary. Frank the security guy said I spoke too loud, but otherwise it was a great experience. Frank was a bit odd since there were hundreds of people walking through the exhibits. Maybe I am too loud?

It is peaceful, the art is wonderful and the staff is helpfu and kind. I love The Getty and recommend it for everyone.

If you're into art and architecture then don't miss this place. The grounds and collection are extensive so allow a few hours to see everything. The garden is beautiful and the views are pretty special too. On-site parking or ride share and then catch the complimentary tram to the center. The most amazing thing? It's free.

Even if you visit and only see the grounds, the garden, the building, the magnificent views of LA, it will be well worth it.

Awesome museum! Free entrance, parking is $20 per car, but this is less than the cost of most museum fees.

We have traveled to Santa Monica to visit the Getty, Villa and Center, ever since they opened. The visual beauty of the architecture is reason enough to make the trip. Get the audio guide and immerse your self in the special and permanent collections.

I go here once a month, great place, even just to reset for the week. Great LA views.

The collections are alright, but the views and the building are spectacular. I personally preferred to walk there rather than using the tram, which was cool, and I suggest you plan to be there at sunset which makes the views even better.

Beautiful vistas, gorgeous artwork and a profound photography exhibit make the trip to this increadibly peaceful museum fully worth it.

Amazing museum, amazing architecture, amazing gardens. Spend the day walking around and popping into different galleries

Ride the tram go up to the hill. The area and the building is amazing

Whats not to love about the Getty? Great views, amazing price (free) and some pretty decent displays.

Beautiful place great view, you can see Santa Monica Ocean. I love it

Outstanding museum and site. You need at least 4 hours to see a good amount of the museum, but you can easily spend more. The French furniture is super. The art collection is not to be missed. The architecture fascinating.

Fantastic views of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. Truly stunning complex. Art for days! A very cool team rides up the side of the mountain. Do not miss this gorgeous place.

What a beautiful place to enjoy fine arts, a sophisticated vibe, and informative staff. Highly recommend this to any one

An awesome museum with amazing views and beat of all free admission

Outstanding art exhibits and marvelous gardens providing an entire day of visual entertainment

Beautiful museum and it's free. A must see for the architecture alone. I took off one star as I found a few of the guards very rude and abrupt. The volunteers were all lively and very helpful. The cafeteria has great selection and food.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the Getty! I plan on returning as often as I can manage it. Parking is only $15!

An excellent spot to view artistic objects architecture gardens and views of LA

For those of you that like real art (e.g. not Andy Warhol or Jackson Pollock), this is the place to go. This whole museum is full of 1500's-1900's European art, or as I like to call it, "the nice things the U.S. troops found while liberating Europe in World War 2." Do NOT underestimate the size of this museum. I move fast in art museums compared to others and it still took me about 2.5 hours to get through everything.

Great grounds to walk around. Wonderful collections of objects. Great special exhibits

Great Photography exposition is amazing the quality of the photos it was a great experience I love The Getty Museum

The museum is excellent. But the food in the Cafe is bad. My friend ate lentil soup there and puked pretty badly. Once is on the plane. Want to give one star to raise awareness.

Nice furniture, but I couldn't Get a price for the side table. I guess they just don't want to sell it.

A world-class art museum with free admission. Parking is $15 or $20, but there is a Metro bus stop nearby.

Beautiful museum & gardens. Could spend all day there. Not bad food choices for a museum. Beautiful views after a rainy day. Best in the morning. Can t believe it s free!

some of the most amazing works of art of all centuries and cultures. and the price is right too!!!!! FREE!!!

A Back door by peak, with an amazing view and security..

Beautiful museum with views of downtown LA. Focus is on European art. Also has nice outdoor gardens with different themes

This is an amazing attraction that you must go. You can spend all day to walk around the garden and enjoy wonderful arts

I like going here to look at the art and drawings they have on display and you get to see a beautiful view of Los Angeles and it is free.

Such a amazing place for spending the day and looking at the city. Only thing the food is VERY pricey. Family prices for individual portions. Besides that the area is amzing and clean and well displayed.

Totally crowded but worth a visit! Astonishing collection of art. And awesome architecture. The best of all? Its free! Defenitly worth a visit.

we had a church fundraiser and it was a great trip

It's very nice to visit with different arts on display and we'll preserved.

So much to see! This is a great museum. Be sure to plan to spend a whole day here.

I don't think this museum has a bad angle. Regardless of whete you stand, you will have a spectacular view of the city.

I have been wanting to come here for several years and finally made it down from the Bay Area. Absolutely made my trip! Gorgeous space with stunning views. Didn't actually spend much time inside because I couldn't pull myself away from the gardens and fountains! Can make it a completely free visit by parking on the street nearby and walking to the tram (only payment is for parking).

Truly a MUST SEE for everyone visiting our Beautiful city! The garden is one of my favorite parts of this whole museum. Everywhere you see is a work of art. Breathtaking. Entrance is free! What more do you need.

The Getty Center offers an expansive, world-class museum experience in the heart of Los Angeles. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city for breathtaking views, incredible art and live music.

This is a perfect place to bring friends from out of town or for a local staycation. It offers incredible panoramic views of Los Angeles, including the Pacific Ocean.

The entire museum is impeccably well-managed and maintained. Art lovers and enthusiasts will be impressed by the expansive collection of world art.

Pro Tip:
- Watch The Getty video in the Lobby to learn more about its' history and collections
- Wear comfortable shoes
- Use one of their free umbrellas if it's super sunny

Don't ask, just go. It is one of amazing places I had the opportunity to visit in my life.

The Getty Center is pretty great. Definitely do a free architecture tour to get a bit more understanding the design of the Getty Center, pretty informative. Although me and my girlfriend didn't enjoy the Garden tour as much due to the docent being pretty monotone in his presentation (although we loved the garden itself). It is great that they do many exhibitions throughout the year. The one I happen to see was Queen Victoria and her fascination with photography. The employees were nice and helpful and the cafe is a delight. If you're not a museum buff (like my girlfriend) it is still a great experience, at least to take some great photos.

Crowded on weekends but that's because it's where Los Angeles keeps most of it's Awesome! The art is, if course, the star of the show. But the building, views, and restaurant are noteworthy destinations unto themselves.

What a gorgeous (and FREE!) museum.

Please give yourself enough time to explore the many halls of the museum and many exhibits The Getty has to offer.

Parking is available onsite (for a fee), and the train will take you up the hill to the entry. We got a little turned around and lost, and somehow ended up inside the museum, without realizing it, as we hadn t passed any formal security line/ticket booth/box office. Not sure if that is typical, or not...

The exiting process also takes time, so please be sure to allow for that as well. Since one arrives via train, one leaves via train. Since we left at the end with many others, we had to also wait in queue with them as well. One patron attempted to cut in-line, and the security gave her a slick and subtle embarrassment by simply asking: Miss, did you wait your turn, like everyone else...?

It was quite a read, and had Lil Missy stumbling for an excuse, oh, I was just... uh...

Of course, if you re on borrowed time, rush to see the Rembrandt s. I certainly fell in LOVE with the royal furniture collection!

I ll post a few photos and videos here.

Enjoy!

I love going to museums and this one is huge with a lot to see ans do

Pretty cool to see everything they have there. Definitely worth the trip!

Beautiful outdoor garden! The gallery was amazing too

Spectacular! Never thought art would interest me. I need to go back. It was worth driving in traffic.

Great venue with many different types of art! Beautiful gardens & beautiful views!

Beautiful buildings and architecture. Loved the garden area also. Can't believe it's free! Was a bit of a queue to get in so would arrive early or outside peak times.

The best place in LA.
Free admission(only $15parking fee)
Beautiful garden, nice architecture and collection decided on several parts. Each one represents period of time

The beautiful sight over L.A. and deers family's and the photos from the 1800s an 1700s . the garden they have its a peaceful plc where u can just sit on the grass and relax . Definitely going back soon you take more pictures. Thank u Getty Center see u soon!

Its one of my favorite art museums! It very vast and suggest make it a whole day if you are visiting because there is a lot of ground to cover. Also enjoy the garden too.

Nice experience. One of the most common middle school or elementary school field trips.
