The Getty Centre is a wonderful cultural experience created by J Paul Getty and opened in 1997. It is an art museum, gardens, sculptures, fantastic architecture and a research and conservation centre all in one. Love it, love it, love it!!! However driving there through LA’s crazy freeways in our hire car was a bit of a nightmare.
