Last week a group of 22 women caravaned to Malibu for a day of fun, sun, and culture. I was already there, showing my friend Jan around Los Angeles, so we met up with the group for a tour of the art, architecture and gardens of the Getty Villa.
Our day started early, as Jan, a wonderful photographer, wanted to stop by The Getty in Brentwood prior to our trip to Malibu to take some pictures. We actually arrived before the museum opened, and were able to tour much of the outdoor space while no one was there. I had forgotten how beautifully the buildings are blended into the landscape.
The Getty Villa recently reopened, after being closed for many years for renovation. It was worth the wait. Every aspect of the Villa is spectacular. The docent who guided us through the gardens and villa was knowledgeable and entertaining. The food at the Terrace Restaurant was excellent, and the price of admission was free. The weather cooperated, and we had beautiful panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
This exquisite museum is another example of a generous philanthropist who used his money to create beauty for all to enjoy. J. Paul Getty wanted to make sure that his museums were open to the public, free of charge. What a gift to the city of Los Angeles
Such a wonderful day, spent with great friends, exploring culture and history in Los Angeles. Enjoy a few of Jan's photos and a picture of our group of wonderful women.
