The Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman Theater
Cupid
Inner Peristyle
Outer Peristyle
Sarcophagus depicting Achilles life (the faces were left blank so that the owner of it could have their own carved)
Hercules
Olympic crown (this one is made of gold, but not meant to be worn)
We had such a great time and it was gorgeous! It's free to go, but you need to reserve your ticket and parking is $15. You could seriously spend the entire day there and they have a cafe or you can bring your own food and have a picnic in the gardens. My favorite part would have to be the gardens, they're so breathtaking. It's really neat to see how people lived and what they believed in, it's amazing. Also, some of the artifacts dated to 5000 BC!! How freaking old is that? There's tons of stuff to look at including money and jewelry that were pretty cool.
Have you ever been to one of the Gettys? Do you enjoy museums?

I love the photos! I am huge fan of museums but we don't have any good ones near where I live.
Gorgeous photos! Looks like a really fun visit :)
I've heard so many good things about the Getty Museum but have yet to go there. But it is on my must visit! Great pictures and thanks for the tips, a picnic in the gardens sounds like so much fun! :)
cupid has a tiny peter!
Been to both but I just adore the Getty Villa. The view, the garden. The BF and I went to Moonshadows and enjoyed a margarita and some sun first. Next time I'm packing a picnic basket and wine to relax and take it all in :)
This is Karli again. Idk why my account isn't working. But this trip was way fun! The Getty Villa was structured after an actual Roman house btw. How cool is that?!
ha youre a good sister :) but it looks like it was really fun!
Dude, I've STILL never been, but it's on my to do list!
I've been to both & both are amazing! But if I had to choose one, it would def. be the Villa.
