The Getty Center in Los Angeles presents the Getty's collection of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present against a backdrop of dramatic architecture, tranquil gardens and breathtaking views. European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculpture and decorative arts, and European and American photographs.

The museum has 'ran out of time' stamped all over it so arrive early and don't plan to leave at least until after lunch - which you can bring with you if you wish. The museum boasts a wide selection of art from different periods and genres. Worthwhile doing some research before you arrive so you can decide on what to see first. Alternatively a tour might help. The attractions are almost as numerous as the number of people milling about. Queuing should be mostly about food.
