the Rubicon Project Reviews

Great art exhibition. Nice city view Beautiful garden.

Excellent art museum with a large collection. I have enjoyed it.

Enjoyed that Rembrandt and early photography exhibits.

Outstanding place to visit for locals and visitors. The art museum permanent collection is quite high quality and its temporary exhibits are well done as well. The museum sits perched on top of a hill overlooking the city and the ocean beyond. One of the must sees places in LA.

Go there and enjoy every step, galleries and gardens..

Don't miss it!! Great collections, great architecture! a must!

Loved it, a great place to visit, good art great views.

Always love coming here. Free other than parking. $20 before 3pm. $15 till 6pm. $10 till close. Beautiful garden and great exhibits

The art collection is fantastic - there's a lot to see covering different periods and geographies. Also, as far as I could tell, there are temporary exhibitions and activities that will deserve going there even if it's not your first visit. I highly recommend taking the guided tours. Considering that all of this is open to the public at no entrance fee (you have to pay parking if you go by car) it's a no-brainer, as well as time well spent.

Just spectacular collection, exhibits, and grounds.

So much to see! The gardens are amazing and so many different exhibits. Give yourself at least 6 hours if not the whole day to see eveything.

Superb place, which visitors can't afford to miss in LA!!!

A must place to visit. Besides the view , great museums n cafe.

One of the most impressive education fascility. I loved it that I visited for days. Modern and medieval art, green and magenta favored garden with water, great view of Los Angeles, and super good cafeteria.
I love medieval Dutch art as well as modern art, it was fantastic visit. Felt like a Disneyland for me.
Building is another catch. Every way you see or look it back, it has different scheme sometimes blending to California's blue sky, other with green, highway otherwise. Plenty of reason staying here for a day even with kids. Be there.

The map sold at kiosk is very good too.

Pretty nice view of the city. Decent for a North American museum.

The Getty is a world class museum, that offers phenomenal traveling exhibitions along with the permanent exhibition. With four seperate buildings to house the french art of the 18th and 19th century. A collection that rivals the Louvre in France. The early American art is equally prestigious, presented with roman decor, Italian and it is all free to the public. Parking is the only expense, twenty dollars per a car.

Amazing free museum with art from some of the greats. Amazing views of Los Angeles also.

Beautiful views, great art, and the gondola ride up is an amazing touch.

A must visit for art lovers...
The garden is pretty cool..

The building architecture was amazing and the tour was very educational

Superb example of how to display & build museum for collections.

Enjoyable place to view art from building, photos, tapestry and oil paintings. Food is far but expensive.

Very interesting museum on a hill. You can get here by public bus and catch a tram to the hill top and spend one day visit. Sculpture garden and impressionism painting should not be missed.

My favorite museum! Beautiful art collections in a gorgeous facility and scenic area. Also there is no charge for admission, only for parking.

Got there, went up the tram, never got off. Beautiful ride though.

My favorite museum in the USA, words don't do this museum justice. This is a place you just have to see. So beautiful, such impressive art and so serene.

Art was so interesting and the labels so informative, very good place to go and learn about art and walk around.

A must visit if you're in LA area, check the schedule in advance to plan more efficiently what exhibition to see, and go early

You only have to pay for parking which is $15 per vehicle. A great place to take guests.

I love this place! I've been going there for over twenty years. It gets better and better through the years.

The most amazing place to see wonderful artifacts, beautiful paintings, ridiculous amazing view of SoCAl, and a picture botanical garden. I have a foot injury so i was unable to walk around and see everything but what i did see has changed my life!!

The museum is free, the parking is $15 and can be validated and used at Getty Villa, so you don't need to pay parking twice. The museum collection is good, not great, but the design is excellent. It's not one gigantic dark stuffy building like a typical museum. The wings are small and connected by balconies and gardens.

Amazing! So much to see and explore. We couldn't get to all the exhibits, so we will be back!!!

Great visit. Worth going just for the views and architecture and they aren't the best part!

The best place ever. There, I said it. You get a feeling from coming to this place that isn't available any other place in the world at any other Museum, or anywhere for that matter. Parking is easy and efficient, the tram to the museum is modern and the views are unrivaled, and once you step off the tram into the magic of Getty, you're transported to an extraordinary world. If you haven't seen it, don't deprive yourself any longer just go.

Be prepared to spend whole day here. So much to look at and enjoy, absolutely loved it.

nice place, informative, but its hard to be located when driving up there

I had never really been to a museum before ever in my life, I originally wanted to come here on my trip to california for the amazing views I saw online. However, I was absolutely blown away by this place, the exhibits and art work in the museum is phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised with not only the amazing views I came for but also an amazing lesson on history and artwork. You could easily spend an entire day here if you are an art & history buff. The museum is huge with many different buildings and places and things to see. The staff are very polite and helpful. This place completely opened me up to history & the timeline of life that I didn't really pay to much attention too in school as a kid! A MUST see when traveling to California!

I love this museum! The gardens are beautiful, and the Impressionist building is a definite favorite. I have visited this museum several times, and there is always so much to see and experience! Definitely recommend!

Unbelievable experience... The grounds are beautiful and the exhibitions breathtaking!

Fantastic place to go spend a half or full day. Clean and we'll maintained and FREE! (Parking is $15-20) the garden is beautiful and romantic spot to take a few pics with your significant other. The exhibits are interesting and you can even grab an iPod from the entrance for a self-guided tour...still Free

Of course it's pretty fab and it's very nice that every aspect of it, including special exhibitions, is free. The interiors are all great and concentrate one's attention on the great art but I'm not completely sold on the external look of the buildings, which is very 80s, not a great architectural period in my view.
The gardens exceeded expectations, so many exciting plants and trees and a great overall design.

It's an amazing museum, you must visit it there is no question.

Sparks your love for the beauty of architecture.

Indulge in the beauty or free art. The staff is also more than accommodating. Definitely a go to spot in LA.

Awesome experience in a museum, make it an all day experience.

I liked most of the statues and I took a lot of pictures. Also you will love the view when your at the top

Views are breath taking and a place you will want to come back to again and again

Amazing that this place has free admission. (Aside from parking) You can definitely spend hours here in this multi building complex. Lots to see and rotating exhibits. Stop by if you are visiting LA.

This place is beautiful! The guides were very helpful, very educational & they answered our groups questions with patience & kindness. We had a group of 20 kids & 4 adults. There were several places to grab a quick regular coffee,water,or even a bag of chips. Copious amounts of beautiful art, paintings on canvas, sculptures, 100+year old artifacts and so much more. Beautiful grounds and plenty to explore. Even the tram ride up was fun we will most definitely be returning we all absolutely loved this beautiful place & I highly recommend everyone check this place out!

The museum itself its a masterpiece done by the world famous architect Richard Meir, the location on top of the hill is great to have a great view of LA and the variety and quantity of art is great. Best of everything, is free

A must see in LA. Beautiful galleries, tours and gardens..

Need to take atleast one visit for art they kept inside of the different buildings.

I haven't got inside yet but the grounds, buildings and views are amazing

Fabulous
A must visit place

The Getty Art Museum is an art piece itself. If you are planning a visit do not short change yourself with time. The grounds are magnificent. There are breathtaking views everywhere. And the architecture has as many ways to view it as do the art pieces themselves. Even a whole day there will leave you wanting more. Parking is $20 in the structure at the bottom of the hill the Getty sits on. From there you can walk an easy mile up or catch a free tram to the top. They run all day. Getty generously shared his collection with the public after his death. We are so much richer for his generosity. Be sure and stay for the sunset at the end of the day.

I can't believe it's a free. The outer view is so beautiful, the sunset and the night view are especially beautiful. Also, there are so many exhibits and there level is high. It's too big to see all at once. It is a place I want to go often.

Stunning architecture. Beautiful cityscapes. Picturesque sunsets. Engaging galleries. Must see.

Always great, really impressed my parents from out of town. The Renaissance Nude exhibit is wonderful!

The garden in the museum was the best and the subway experience. Its a must to visit this place. You will like their garden and also their wide museum. This a very educational place with a relaxing view. They have a restaurant too that has a nice view. Such an awesome place. Need to go back to see it again.

Don't miss this excellent place. It's peaceful, it has a great art collection and a breathtaking view over LA... oh and it's 100% free!

We visit whenever we can. Out-of-town guests are a perfect excuse. Multiple rotating exhibits complement the permanent installations. Impossible to enjoy in a single visit anyway.



Parking is now $20 ($15 after 3pm). No admission charge.

The incredible collections, the location with these beautiful views, the gardens, the architecture, the helpful staff--all of these make it my favorite place to visit when we come to LA. Try to be there at sunset because when the sun hits the building it's so gorgeous. You pay to park but otherwise it's free.

Amazing place to go on a rainy or sunny day! Fantastic works of art - both permanent collections and traveling exhibitions. The gardens are a sight to behold, and during the summer they have live music in their museum center. To top it all off, the museum is completely free!

Beautiful, beautiful works of art. Irises by Van Gogh is spectacular to see along with many other priceless works of art. Great to to the family to and very educational. A definite must see if you have the opportunity!

Great place to take a date. Maybe next Valentine's Day I'll have one.

Amazing place to spend a whole day, lots of art exhibitions, gardens and great views of LA

You don t need to pay for visiting but it s extremely full there and the prices for food and drinks in the cafe are too high.
The art is amazing and you can learn about art

Big place with lots to see. Such a shame we weren't able to spend the whole day here. Join their educational tours--worth it! :)
