We did indeed see a gorgeous recreation of a Roman villa that was both dazzling and intimate at the Getty Villa. The site hosted an array of Roman and Greek artifacts indoors while also boasting lovely architecture, gardens, and pools outdoors. I loved the small size and different interactive exhibits (e.g. the process of making mummies) and am glad we got to visit. Sometimes museums can be large and overwhelming, but we really felt that we got to see and appreciate the antiquities and views here.
The admission was free and there was only the $15 charge for parking (great for at least 2 people); admission is via timed slots so the museum never gets too crowded. The Getty Villa was a wonderful stop in Malibu. Next time you’re in the Los Angeles area and want a break from the beach, do drop by!
Have a lovely week!
It looks incredibly beautiful. I would have loved to stop there when I was in the LA area earlier this summer.
Beautiful place.
I’ve driven by the Getty often, but never actually stopped in. I don’t visit the LA area as much as I used to, but would love to visit this museum one day 🙂
Hey there. So beautiful. Thanks for your comment on my last blog post. It was great hearing from you. I hope all is well with you. I’m looking for a new job, plus I’m thinking about going back to college. Take care. Have a wonderful week ahead!
This is one place that I am kicking myself for missing out on when I lived out there! Beautiful!
I absolutely love this place and visited a few times when I lived out there. Imagine getting married on those steps with that view in the background! I used to daydream about that. LOL. What a gorgeous location!
this is so pretty! i’ll keep it in mind the next time i’m in so cal!
I always pass it but I’ve never actually gone in which is something I kick myself over time and time again. Next time I’m in LA it’s a must!
Hope u had a fabulous weekend xoxo
i’ve never been here, but think it is lovely and must go!
This looks amazing!
xoxo

Such a beautiful photo. And I LOVE dumplings, too. Had the best ever at a tiny little place with an outdoor patio in Asheville, NC. I can’t remember what they were called, but I’ll have them again soon when we head up to see the colors changing. Have a wonderful day ~ xox Alexandra
