Getty Villa, Malibu
Untitled
I recently went to the Getty Villa. I loved it. I learned so much about the way the Romans lived in the era of Villa dei Papri. I especially enjoyed learning about a form of comedy present within the first several centuries AD: phylax. Throughout the ages, the same sort of vulgarity is present. It’s interesting how we are so different, yet similar to the cultures of the past. The architecture and flora were breathtaking. I spent over 3 hours there, and I didn’t get to see half of it. I’m certainly planning to return.
P.S. If you are going, I would advise you to take some kind of tour. The guides are very informative, and you’ll learn things you wouldn’t have known by your own observation.
