The Getty Center


The Getty Center opened in Los Angeles in 1997. I have been wanting to go to this museum for a while, so the return trip was an opportunity to visit Sean and see the venue. It is a spectacular museum by Richard Meier of largely European Art lies on 750 acres in the San Monica Mountains. It is wonderfully designed with surprises as you walk the grounds. I only wish I had brought sunglasses as the white building was blinding in the LA sun.

 I had forgotten how mystical l El Greco's painting are.
