Weekend exhibition in Los Angeles

The Getty Center in Los Angeles is located at the foot of Santa Monica Mountain. Overlooking the panoramic view of Los Angeles, the Getty Center was designed by architect Richard Meier. With its simple lines, bright tones, natural lighting, the integration of indoor atriums and outdoor gardens, the open space embodies a harmonious beauty of delicacy and roughness. JPaul Getty became a millionaire at the age of 23 due to oil, which cultivated his outstanding appreciation of literature and art and his hobby of collecting art. In 1968, he chose a hillside along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu as the museum site. Driving west from downtown Los Angeles, not far north of California Interstate 405, you can see the continuous Santa Monica Mountains. On a cliff 881 feet above sea level on the mountain stands a group of peculiar buildings, which is the famous Getty Center in Los Angeles. It includes a very modern art museum, an art research center, and a beautiful garden.
