Just amazing architecture up the hills. Stones, lights, shadow and natures(garden) perfectly arrange. Great Herb Ritts exibitions with some amazing shots of holliwoods stars. But the rest of the galleries were ok - not outstanding. compare to other leading museums around the wolrd only average.
No entry fee but 10 Dollar parking ticket. Thats california.

Do NOT miss this gem. The collections are wonderful and the museum and grounds are as amazing as the collections.
The tram ride UP to the museum is worth the visit. The museum is completely free; you pay $15 per car to park, not per person, per car so stuff as many in the car as you can and head...

The Getty Center is the best museum in the world. The building is beautifull, the location and garden is stunning and the collection is unbelievable. And all that is for free, you only have to pay for parking your car.
I cannot think of a better attraction in the LA area.

Getty Center is world famous and deserves such a reputation: the site is remarquable, the architecture is very smart and the artwork is outstanding. Free access, USD 15 for the parking. The only downside is the noise from visiting school groups. It is therefore better to go on Saturday or Sunday. You can photograph everything outside special exhibitions. Nice restaurant....
