Go Getty 'em

So the Getty Centre is an awesome Museum in Brentwood on the west side of the city, just next to Bel Air (No I didn't spot any Fresh Princes). It stands majestically above the 405 Freeway and offers stunning views of the city. It was set up by the oil magnate, Jean Paul Getty.

This was my second time to the Getty, and I had genuinely forgotten how amazing the actual building is. The art is of course gorge, but the building is stunning. American architect Richard Meier designed it, and it uses lots of white, his trademark. 
There are beautiful curves, with massive tiles, water features abound and the gardens and grounds punctuated with a number of world famous sculptures.

Rather than blather on about, why don't you just look at my photos and see why I think it is one of the most stunning museums in the world...(I edited these down, but you will gather I absolutely love this building!)






















And there is also some art here...
