The Getty Art Museum


Ken and I (along with Lila) visited the Getty Museum last week. We had a blast there. It would take weeks to explore that place. Above is the outdoor sculpture garden. Some pretty cool modern art pieces there!






The outdoor gardens are pretty fantastic. Everyone has to take a tram up the side of the mountain where the museum is located. Below is a picture from the tram.





The trees below are works of art in and of themselves. We had a coffee and breakfast at a table in this courtyard.









Really amazing architecture!!!















An artist actually designed the outdoor gardens. They are truly magnificent.







Lila is just so easy. She was just glad to look at everything.





















Inside we saw a temporary Rembrandt exhibit which compared his work to his pupils' work and showed how to tell the difference between the 2. We also saw so many amazing paintings. Works by Monet, Gaugin, Renoir, Van Gogh, and many other very famous artists were on display. We also saw some pretty amazing manuscripts and ornate furniture. Such a fun place!

Hi Lori

Thought of you when I saw this. Im not sure if you got a year pass again, but if not, this might interest you. You might not have alot of time to volunteer with Lila and Brad at home during the day, but then again, you do seem to keep going and going and going! lol Maybe if its something you are volunteering for already, it will work with that. Just a thought. :o) Hugs, Jess
