Photo Love/CnC Living Recommends: Appreciating a view at the Getty villa

 Shouldn't a great museum foster seeing before all else?

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!
