The Getty Center is an awesome museum and gardens. This is a great place to enjoy art, culture, and views. There is no admission fee but to park you have to pay $20. The tram ride from the lot to the getter center is free and has awesome views of west LA. At the front desk, you can get a free audio tour player.

The new museum opened in 1974, and Getty felt the need to expand the scope of its displays, adding ancient Roman frescoes, Greek painted pottery, and other objects. After his death in 1976, museum curators added significantly to the collection, which now includes important Greek vases, engraved gems, Romano-Egyptian mummy portraits, ancient glass, carved ambers, silver vessels, and gold jewelry.
