The Getty Center is a free-admission art museum spanning a two-building campus in Los Angeles' Brentwood and Malibu neighborhoods, originally constructed in 1974 by industrialist J. Paul Getty in a building intended to replicate the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum.
Today, the museum attracts more than two million annual visitors, showcasing splendid collections of international artwork that have been acclaimed as one of the best fine art displays in the world. Its original Brentwood campus presents exhibits of Western artwork from the Middle Ages to present-day works, while its Malibu campus showcases collections of artifacts from Ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria.
