| Visiting the Getty in the rain actually turned out to be quite nice. It was a chance to really take in the beauty of the Getty itself. We arrived shortly after the museum opened and it was so nice to see all the open spaces without the distraction of lots of people moving about. It may have been a disappointment to those visiting for the first time because there was limited visibility on Sunday and normally the views are spectacular. The mood was still pleasant and the docents were all as helpful and wonderful as if it were 73 degrees and sunny. And as you can see, there was no shortage of umbrellas. At one point during lunch my 11 year old asked if we would be leaving soon. His 16 year old sister replied, "oh, no we still have the lecture and the IMAX!" It really was a well, lovely day the Getty! |
I loved our visit to the Getty and took many photos...
ReplyDeleteI fell instantly in love with travertine and the architecture.
I hope that you may return on a sunny day...the plants and gardens are lovely.
Don't you love the Getty? It's one of my favorite places in L.A. You'd also love the Getty Villa in Malibu. It's really different.
