Description
From www.getty.edu:
“The Getty Center is a unique destination that incorporates modern design, open spaces and several gardens, including the Central Garden—an evolving work of art, a cactus garden that overlooks Los Angeles, and two sculpture gardens.
The collection, changing exhibitions, and outdoor art on view at the Getty Center reach across European and American history—from medieval times to the present.”
It’s also possible to take a virtual tour of The Getty Centre through Google Arts & Culture.
