A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Los Angeles is legendary for its sunshine, glamour, and cultural edge – as well as its high costs. However, there are many exciting activities and experiences that don’t cost a dime. If you know where to find them, that is.
Oil magnate J. Paul Getty used some of his vast wealth to amass an incredible art and antiquities collection, first displayed in his ranch house on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. In the early 70s, he had a Romanesque villa constructed next to his house to be a permanent museum for his collection. The Malibu Villa, modeled after the partially excavatedVilla dei Papiriin Italy, became the home of the J. Paul Getty Museum in 1974. In 1997, the Getty Villa was closed and the collection was relocated to the hilltop Getty Center in Brentwood (Los Angeles).
