about Getty Villa
The Getty Villa is a museum of Ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan artefacts and works of art.
Located in Pacific Palisades, California, it displays a collection of antiquities from each of these periods in a thematic exploration of ancient life, culture, religion and even war.
The Getty Villa is itself a reconstruction of a typical ancient villa as well as including a reconstructed theatre.
Just as empires rise and fall so do entry fees and opening hours!
