What a wonderful day. We got up to cool temperatures but beautiful sunny skies. Off we headed to the Getty Center, located on 750 acres in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking L.A. and the Pacific Ocean. The center opened in 1997 and was designed by architect Richard Meier. The gardens were designed by California artist Robert Irwin. Most of our day was spent taking audio tours of the different museum buildings housing numerous collections. We also took a docent led garden tour. The Azalea Maze was in full bloom.
Looking out over the gardens, Catalina Island can be seen in the distance.
It is impossible to see everything in one day. The Getty Center will be on our list for a future visit!
