A Visit to the Getty Center, LA
The closest we came to Los Angeles was a visit three years ago to the Getty Museum for European art up to 1900. The view over the bare green and brown mountains and LA highways from the modern architecture building was overwhelming and unfamiliar to me as a Dane. It’s temporarily closed due to this year’s situation, which gave me the idea to show you a few of their art pieces.

I believe it was the first and the last time I visited this place. I am glad we got the possibility to see this sight.

From one Heart to Another 
Would you believe I’ve lived in LA twelve years and still haven’t visited the Getty? I really should try to make it over there sometime. Meanwhile, I’m glad I got the virtual tour through these fantastic photos 🙂

You made my day by having inspired you. I know how it is when you live somewhere and haven’t seen the museums. I was glad to see this museum and not go to Beverly Hills and Hollywood

Yeah sometimes we just get caught up in the busy schedules! 😦 But as someone who has been to both BH and Hollywood plenty of times, I think you chose right 🙂
