My wife and I spent the weekend in LA and decided to visit the J. Paul Getty Museum. We were impressed not only by its exhibitions, but by its architecture, gardens and stunning views.
As stated in its website, the J. Paul Getty Museum seeks to “inspire curiosity about, and enjoyment and understanding of, the visual arts by collecting, conserving, exhibiting and interpreting works of art of outstanding quality and historical importance.” To fulfill this mission, the Museum continues to build its collections through purchase and gifts, and develops programs of exhibitions, publications, scholarly research, public education, and the performing arts that engage diverse local and international audiences. All of these activities are enhanced by the uniquely evocative architectural and garden settings provided by the Museum’s two renowned venues: the Getty Villa and the Getty Center.
The Museum houses European paintings, drawings, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, decorative arts, and photography from its beginnings to the present, gathered internationally. The ones that captured my attention most are presented below:
Spring in the Alps (1897). Giovani Segantini. Oil on Canvas.
Some nice views of the Museum’s gardens and LA from there:
