Come on a day when it's not crowded or the entire museum will smell like armpit. Wish I was exaggerating.

Be sure to leave time to absorb the greatest masterpiece and that is...NATURE. Drink in the view and explore the garden walkway. ENJOY!

Had a great time at the Getty. The exhibits are always great and on a clear day you have some of the best views of LA.

Just to update one of the tips: The Getty Center does not have free parking after 5PM on Saturdays. It charges a reduced price from their normal fee.

Going on Mother's Day seemed like a bright idea; the weather was gorgeous. A great many others had the same idea, unfortunately (but not so many that it was too crowded to enjoy the galleries).

Really great fashion photography collection

Saturdays off the 405 in the summer are the best! Go early, catch an exhibit beforehand. P.s. free parking after 5 pm.
