The Getty Center, Los Angeles, CA


The J.Paul Getty museum is off the 405 San Diego FWy, just north of Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles. This place is a must see when visiting L.A. You will be amazed by the beauty and view of Century City, Santa Monica, Hollywood and Los Angeles.

Oil Baron and Philanthropist J.Paul Getty donated $2.3 Billion to build it but didnt live to see these magnificent museum and gardens when it was completed in 1997. He also funded the Getty Villa near Malibu on Hwy 1 north of Santa Monica which contains Roman and Greek Era painitings and Sculptures.
