Getty Center

The Getty Center on the hills above West Los Angeles is one of America's finest art museums, a Richard Meier-designed modernist complex of white travertine pavilions housing the J. Paul Getty Trust's extraordinary collection of European paintings, decorative arts, manuscripts, and photographs. The collection's highlights include Van Gogh's Irises, Rembrandt's The Abduction of Europa, and an extensive collection of French furniture and decorative arts. The sculpted central garden and panoramic views over Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean are attractions in their own right.
