J.PAUL GETTY MUSEUM
Just came back from the J. Paul Getty Museum, it was even more amazing than I remembered it. There was a wide variety of Art Work and collections such as the manuscript shown above. The museum is rather large and spending a day there is very easily done. I would recommend using the self guided tour using the headsets that you could rent for five dollars, they are well worth the money.

The painting above was painted by Peter Paul Rubens in 1611 and is his earliest hunt scene. This is just one example of the many important pieces in this collection. The Getty also has gardens that you could stroll through and you can bring a picnic lunch to eat in their outdoor dining area. The dining area overlooks the city of Los Angeles and on a clear day you can see the ocean. The Museum closes at nine pm making it possible for you to sit outside and watch the sun set over the city. If you are any where near L.A. you need to put this on your agenda.
