The Getty Center

The Getty is more than a museum—it's a cultural landmark devoted to preserving, studying, and sharing the world’s greatest art. Founded by oil magnate J. Paul Getty, the Getty Center in Los Angeles offers visitors a deep dive into European paintings, decorative arts, manuscripts, sculptures, photography, and rotating exhibitions from ancient to modern times.

Built with timeless architecture and surrounded by serene gardens, it also houses the Getty Research Institute and Conservation Institute—making it a hub for global art history and preservation.

For locals in the Coachella Valley, especially in the summer, it’s the perfect escape. You’ll trade desert heat for ocean breezes, enjoy panoramic views, and explore one of the most important art institutions in the U.S.—all with free admission.

Whether you're curious, creative, or just craving cool air, The Getty delivers an unforgettable, enriching experience.
