The last time I went to this place — 11 months ago
The last time i was at the Getty it was like a farewell since i was off to college across the country. The sun was shining, there was a little kid’s bad along the lines of th wiggles playing in the grassy area, children and couples and families everywhere. It should have been annoying, i mean it’s an ART museum, not an amusement park. But it didn’t affect the art viewing all. it’s just this constant happy atmosphere that made the art viewing more enjoyable. My mother and I spent the whole day there, looking at everything, and in between buildings sitting on the grass and looking at the fountain. Little kids kept jumping into the water, people ate their lunches in the sun. It was lovely.
And of course, the art. The art is always wonderful. Their permanent collection is magnificent,despite the controversy that required them to return questionably acquired artwork back to Europe. You can sit and draw from the works, or take a tour. The galleries are endless, and I always see my favorite photography exhibits here. Always worth going.
