Getty Center

Designed by architect Richard Meier, the Brentwood campus spreads across multiple buildings linked by open plazas, with balcony viewpoints looking out toward the Pacific Ocean. The visit begins with a tram ride up the hillside, leading into gallery wings that pair expansive art collections with exhibitions detailing the history of the Getty itself. Between viewings, the hillside setting invites unhurried wandering through outdoor spaces, balancing indoor curations with quiet pauses overlooking the basin below.
