If you could design and build the perfect art gallery, if money was no object and you had bought lots of land high up on a hill overlooking a city by the edge of the ocean, then this would be it.
And if you could visit it on a day which was brilliantly blue, with an almost cloudless sky, but not too hot and not too crowded, then today would be it.
The Getty Centre is outrageously good. It should not be allowed to be honest; it isn't fair. You hear people's jaws hitting the floor at the sight of some of the pieces.
Did I mention it is free?
When I die I want to come back as a paniting on a wall here. Not an oil painting obviously, perhaps some messy, impressionist, flower. Or a snail.

glad you enjoyed it Al! I knew you would. It looks like you picked the perfect day to visit too... but then again there are about 360 perfect days in LA a year! love Jan x
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's, in the first one you look as if you are on a school trip ha! ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat's it like to see the sun and feel warm, I feel so envious although there was a little of flurry of excitment in Worcester this evening as it has snowed - finaly - are we are the last city in the country to get snow?
Have you started shoping yet? I expect colour and lots of it, let the Grant love of coloured clothing run amock and unchecked in California!!
Love Sarah X
