J. Paul Getty Villa

The architecture and the gardens at the villa are way more interesting than the art itself. Go outside and enjoy. (Though maybe I've been spoiled with the art available in New York and Paris. )

One of the delights of Los Angeles. Excellent tours , exhibits & docents. Make parking reservation on the web site. The museum is free, they chg for parking . Lunch avail in the indoor/outdoor cafe .

Replica of a Roman villa , featuring Greek Roman and other Mediterranean antiquities . The villa itself is a bit cheesy but the exhibits are great and the modern architecture that surrounds it is great

Beautiful place with stunning artwork & antiques . The architecture is amazing. So much to see & take in so allow yourself hours. Guides / staff are VERY good.

Monday’s are less busy. The admission is free, make sure you make a reservation . Stunning place, not so huge, a dream villa ????. Food in a cafe was great!

I love taking some quiet time in the reading room looking out over the Roman gardens . The books are always fascinating and can delve you into the history of the culture.

Great place to enjoy Roman and Greek histories. Love the architecture and details that went into the design and development.

Beautiful place, you feel like in a Roman Village , fabulous collection of ancient art . Free! but don't forget to make reservation . Also free Wifi (like in Getty Musseum in LA)

Tickets are free as long as you book online in advance (parking is $15). Great place for a fun afternoon date - make a picnic out of the gardens , then go to Dukes of Malibu for a dessert .

Fantastic design and art collection . Reminds me of Sevilla. Nothing could go wrong in Malibu. Finally cross it off my list.

If you love exhibits , take the time to see every little room on both floors. Don’t just look at the exterior!

Amazing museum in Malibu! The building is based on the layout for an ancient Roman villa , and there are beautiful gardens and fountains around the property.

Beautiful place! Free entry ($15 for parking ) to amazing grounds and a huge exhibit . Plan to be there 3-4 hrs to see it all. I'll be back!

Collection is good but not stellar, though there are a few stand outs like the "Victorious Youth" and the gold wreath, but the setting is a delight. Take you time & enjoy the educational materials.

lovely grounds and a timeless collection of ancient art and artifacts . multiple fountain gardens , thoughtfully illuminated in the evenings

Smaller than the Los Angeles Getty so you can see everything in one day. Beautiful gardens , great food at the cafe , all around a lovely place to spend the day.

Stunning, stunning place! Gorgeous gardens , superb architecture , great exhibits . If I lived in LA, I'd be visiting pretty often!

Great self guided audio tour for kids. Can use your own phone and headphones or borrow an iPod. Our 7 year old was a bit scared at the end, but it’s well done.

Modeled after Julius Caesar's father-in-law's villa in southern Italy, the Getty Villa provides a stunning space for the display of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art & sculpture .

Take the free guided tour . Very interesting insights you won’t get just walking.

If you end up arriving at the gate without a reservation , call them (310.440.7300) and they'll give you a ticket number in less than a minute, which you'll be able to provide it in time to security.

Is a very nice place to visit in a sunny day. Free access but you need to you pay parking place $15.

Most of the water features are off because of the drought (at least for now). Still a stunning museum with beautiful gardens and art !

Look up! Look down! Look at all the stunning gardens ! There are patterns and interesting things to see literally everywhere here, the art itself isn't the only thing to not miss!

The Getty Villa is a very special place. Very casual . I have never seen it crowded . You need to make a reservation but it's free.

If you pay for parking at one museum , you can visit the other one, on the same day, for free. Ask for a pass at the information booth .

Built by oil tycoon as a museum to house his ancient collections, the building is the only recreation of a Roman patrician villa in the US and is modeled after the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum.

The Getty Villa in Malibu is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. Admire the views , art , and architecture ?

A great way to spend the day in LA. Not to be missed - even for Europeans! :-)

This magnificent Malibu property includes an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome and Etruria.

Beautiful gardens , yes. Peaceful on any weekday. Want a photo? Ask someone around you! Leave your selfie stick at home.

Every time I'm in LA a visit to the Getty Villa is a must. Live the place!

Beautiful setting with lots of great art from antiquity to explore. Reserve early.

Seriously to die for. Gorgeous place and breathtaking views . Reminds me of the Mediterranean.

I was not expecting to be as wonderful as it is, lovely place to walk, relax and have many pictures

Great building and architecture but to see antique italian art , go to Italy, not worthy to spend time here

This place is out of this world, great collection and decoration

Cute place for a date! Beautiful garden and ocean view of Malibu

Really fun place to be the staff is super helpful and they have a cute little lunch place there

Although most of the art has moved to the Frank Gehry-designed Getty Center , the original site—J. Paul Getty's former villa—still houses Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities .

Amazing place. To do absolutely. Sculptures , poteries, paintings from Greece and romaine antiquity
