J. Paul Getty

For this essay, we were required to go to the Getty Villa in Malibu and look for specific works of art in the J. Paul Getty Museum. The Getty Villa is on a hill adjacent to Malibu beach and requires a reservation to get inside. They do not allow pedestrian entrances, so I had to take public transportation and show proof of my Metro bus receipt to get in. Once inside, I took a shuttle up a curvy hill to the actual museum. When I got to the actual entrance, I was taken aback by how beautiful not only

The J. Paul Getty Museum is located on the West side of Los Angeles and is opened all week with free admission except on Mondays which is closed completely. The Getty is divided into two campuses, the Getty Center and Getty Villa. Although both campuses serve as a major role for the Getty Museum, the Center is what is commonly referred to as the museum. The museum sits at the top of a hill that takes 15-20 minutes to hike. However, a tram is available to haul visitors from the parking lot up to the

I visited the J Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California in April of 2011. I was on a school trip and at the beginning had no interest in going to this museum. However it being on the itinerary, I just went along. Arriving at the Getty museum you could see how the building was a work of art itself. It was like a sculpture jumping from ancient Greece mixed with a modern flare. Holding over 40,000 pieces I did not know where to begin.

Conservation Study While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon’s album for this particular study was The Armorer’s Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger.

Paul Getty Museum Vincent van Gogh – Irises, 1889, oil on canvas Perhaps illness so influenced the artistic style of Van Gogh, but the picture turned out completely different to all that the artist wrote so far. This is not a Van Gogh, who was known. In the canvas, there is tension, anxiety, dense colors and warm shades of olive-mustard.

Driving down the 405 freeway will now be a different experience for myself. Prior to the weekend of June 11, 2017, The Getty Museum was always a mystery. There are a several things I really enjoyed about the museum. It was surprising to learn the Getty Center is free for everyone that attends. When arriving we of course had to pay for parking, which was fifteen dollars for an all day parking pass. With the parking pass, the museum allows you to leave and return once within the same day.

For my cultural event, I visited the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, December 11, 2014.
