The Getty Center in LA

Getty Center Museum sits on top of a mountain in LA, overlooking all Los Angeles city. Its collection varies from medieval to present times, and from manuscripts of great antiquity, impressionistic pictures to modern photographs.
We arrived at the parking lot at around 10:30 on Saturday morning and took a tram up to the mountain. After brunch at a terrace cafe, we set out for a little journey to the medieval world. The exhibition we were most interested in, however, was not a middle age paintings or sculptures, but the photographs by a Mexican woman, Graciela Iturbide(1942-), and early photographs from the 1830's.

Admission:free, Tram:free, Parking lot:$8
