Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (LACMA)

LACMA is situated on Santa Monica Boulevard's museum district. It is right beside the prehistoric wonders of the La Brae tar pits. There is a fine western and international collection. I visited in 1997 and 1999.

Getty Center and J. Paul Getty Museum

On the hills overlooking Los Angeles and Santa Monica the Getty Center in 1997. I visted in 1999 to see the Getty Museum. I caught the winter sunset and viewed the collection. The setting for the art, both inside and out, is quite wonderful. One parks near the bottom and then takes a trams to the hill top for the view.
