Two Unique Locations

Getty has two locations—one in the hills, one near the ocean

The Getty Center, located in Brentwood off the west side of the 405 freeway, showcases European art amid modern architecture and bird's-eye views of Los Angeles.

The Getty Villa Museum lies along the coast, north of Santa Monica, and displays ancient Greek and Roman art in a recreated Roman house.

Free Admission

Admission is free, and requires a timed-entry reservation.
