When I travel, I feel excited about everything, even a short ride on the tram that took me from the parking lot to the main entrance at Getty Center.
Originally, the Getty Museum started in J. Paul Getty's house and later extended into a center that includes Conservation and Research Institute, Foundation, and the Museum. In 1984, Richard Meier was chosen to be the architect, and the center ultimately opened to the public on December 16, 1997. Nowadays, Getty Museum has over 1.8 million visitors annually, which makes it one of the most visited museums in the United States.
As a photographer, I followed my professional instincts and, first of all, visited a photography hall where at that moment, there was an exhibition called “Teen photographers respond.”
Getty’s museum collection contains more than 120,000 separate objects and is distributed in different sections. It includes paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures, and decorative arts. The Paintings collection has over 400 notable European paintings created before 19th century . Among the best-known works are paintings by Pontormo, Rembrandt, Turner, Monet and Van Gogh.
The open spaces in the Getty Museum are something admirable. For me, art is an expression of freedom, and at the Getty Center, architecture and landscaping are perfectly aligned to express that feeling of freedom.
The Cactus Garden shows a variety of cacti, succulents, and other plants from a desert terrain.
The architect Richard Meier chose to feature travertine stone in his design due to its historical association with public architecture, its color, and consistency.
The Department of Sculpture and Decorative Arts in the Getty Museum has over 1700 object, dating from 12th -20 th century
There are Four gardens in the Getty Center -one at street level, the rest at the top of the hill-and an outdoor sculpture terrace.
Located in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, The Getty Center’s 86 acres of landscaped gardens and terraces include the Central Garden, designed by California artist Robert Irwin. Since the Getty Center opened in 1997, the Central Garden has evolved as its plants have grown. I think Central Garden is a piece of art; I would gladly spend there a couple of hours sitting somewhere in a shade of a tree and reading a novel while occasionally admiring flowers. I know, It might sound a little idealistic, but it feels like a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a slow pace of life.
