Welcome To Getty Center Week

Hi, I am Angel and I will be your host for Getty Week.

Yes, it is Superbowl Sunday. In case you care, we will be watching the game here at home this year. Being my team didn't make it, I am going to instead talk about my trip last week, to the Getty.

There was so much to see and experience, that I am going to take an entire week to show off some of the highlights.

Future posts will be about, the formal garden, the cactus garden (which you got a taste of last week), the buildings themselves (which you can see the layout of, down below), a taste of the artwork around the complex and of course, several fountains will be showcased in my Monday Water Posts.

If you are not into The Getty, I suggest you skip this week. :-)



This photo is of a really cool relief map of the entire complex. You begin at that building down at the bottom of the photo and work you way around the 5 other buildings. The artwork is on the second level of the buildings and they interconnect on that level. Otherwise, you go in and out of buildings on the lower level. You can also see the placement of some of the fountains I will be highlighting in future posts. The gardens are out behind the complex, on the hillside that the Getty is on top of. By the way, you can see Santa Monica Bay, off to the southwest.

Put on your walking shoes and enjoy the trip.
