The first art stop on the L.A. tour was the Villa Getty. This museum is based on the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum as if it were new. It shows the genius of Roman design and for anyone interested in historical recreations, this is the place. It houses the antique collection of J.Paul Getty and is an ideal place to experience the ancient past. The Villa Getty only opened as it is, in 2006. There is a rich collection of sculpture, fresco fragments and objects. They also had some family friendly activities at two stations on Saturday. This is a great example of how great a museum experience can be..... and the entrance fee is paying for parking, the rest is free.
