About Getty Center
Getty Center brings together galleries, gardens, and architecture on a hill on the west side of Los Angeles. The complex offers wide views and outdoor spaces between pavilions.
The European art holdings, photography, and temporary exhibitions require selection based on interest. Arrival via the internal transit and the gardens are part of the total time; it is not a short stop to enter a single room and move on.
To plan a visit to Getty Center, check reservations and which galleries are open; allocate part of the visit to the garden and part to the indoor collections. The walks between pavilions show how the architecture and the hillside siting contribute to the experience, in addition to the works on display.
