The Getty Museum

Since its opening in 1997, my friends based in LA had been urging me to visit the place, knowing that I am fond of museums. But hectic schedules prevented me from going to the place. But then that day, I missed one appointment, so off we went to the Getty Museum on a hill. The picture was taken from wikipedia, since my photos were limited only to short distance shots inside the museum complex. As a background, below is the article about Getty Museum. The Getty Center, designed by architect Richard Meier, is the flagship museum of the J. Paul Getty Trust. Its design has feng shui influences. It has a seven-story deep underground parking garage with over 1,200 parking spaces. It is located on a hill in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California overlooking Interstate 405 and is open to the public for free (although there is a charge for parking). The Getty Center is high enough that on a clear day, it is possible to see the snow at Big Bear as well as the Pacific Ocean and the entire Los Angeles basin. Much of the buildings and grounds are made of travertine. Other parts are made of white marble. budget+travel,Italy,Rome,Vatican City,Switzerland,France,Tower of Pisa,Eiffel Tower,Golden Gate ,Universal Studios,Disneyland
