Getty Museum

A cultural sanctuary in the sky

The Getty Museum is more than just a museum—it’s a mountaintop masterpiece where panoramic views of LA frame some of the world’s most treasured works of art.

Perched atop the Los Angeles hills, the Getty Center is a world-class destination where art, architecture, and nature converge. Designed by Richard Meier, the museum is renowned for its modernist architecture, beautifully landscaped gardens, and sweeping views of the city. Its impressive collection includes European paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and decorative arts, along with stunning rotating exhibitions.
