The Villa Getty is really the deluxe museum experience. You can see what the Romans lived like, in a climate and architecture that is pure Hollywood-Roman. I think even the Romans would appreciate it if they could come back. The real details include an Egypto-Roman mummy portrait and a fresco fragment.
The real and the artificial merge for pure enrichment.
Even the copies around the grounds show a conceptual use of the artwork that you don't see in Naples, where the original sculptures are on display.
