点评:Much of our trip to LA was taking friends to places I had been before and loved. However, there was place I missed last time and made sure to schedule for this trip, the Getty Center. In making plans to visit, be sure to obtain passes for a time before you come. The passes are free but without them you visit is not assured.
As for the visit, it is an impressive art museum, but its buildings and location may be the most impressive thing about it. It has everything from Renaissance to Modern, but what is more impressive is the way it is presented. There are 5 separate buildings with both 1st and 2nd floor galleries. However, you can go between buildings on the second floor with great balcony views of Los Angeles from the mountains, downtown and all the way to the beach. With that said, there is great art from nearly every age. While a lot of it is paintings, they also have sculptures and furniture.
There are some great pieces but some of the leading artist in any age, Van Gogh, Monet and Manet, Titian, Rembrandt, Rubens and Turner. However, on just art quantity and quality, there are better museums in Europe definitely and even the US. What those museums don't have is the incredible buildings and setting that the Getty has. I think Griffith Park has the best views of Los Angeles; however, the Getty almost matches those.
Finally, you have to mention the monorail that takes you from the parking deck to the museum. It is an attraction of its own and is an amazing way to provide for parking and still keep the incredible views of the facility. It is all uphill going to the museum so you can walk back if crowded on the return.
When you combine the art, innovation and setting, it is a truly amazing attraction for LA and something you can't miss when you go to LA.
翻译:我们去洛杉矶的大部分行程都是带朋友去我以前去过并且很喜欢的地方。但是,我上次错过了一个地方,这次一定要安排好行程,那就是盖蒂中心。在制定参观计划时,一定要在来之前获得一段时间的通行证。通行证是免费的,但没有通行证,您就无法保证参观。
至于参观,这是一个令人印象深刻的艺术博物馆,但它的建筑和位置可能是最令人印象深刻的地方。它拥有从文艺复兴时期到现代的一切,但更令人印象深刻的是它的呈现方式。有 5 栋独立的建筑,一楼和二楼都有画廊。但是,您可以在二楼的建筑物之间穿行,从山上、市中心到海滩,从很棒的阳台上欣赏洛杉矶的美景。话虽如此,这里几乎每个时代都有伟大的艺术作品。虽然很多都是绘画,但他们也有雕塑和家具。
有一些很棒的作品,但有些是各个时代的顶尖艺术家的作品,如梵高、莫奈和马奈、提香、伦勃朗、鲁本斯和特纳。然而,就艺术品的数量和质量而言,欧洲甚至美国肯定有更好的博物馆。这些博物馆没有盖蒂博物馆那样令人惊叹的建筑和环境。我认为格里菲斯公园拥有洛杉矶最好的景色;然而,盖蒂博物馆几乎可以与之媲美。
最后,你必须提到从停车场到博物馆的单轨列车。它本身就是一个景点,是一种提供停车位的绝妙方式,同时还能保留设施的绝妙景色。去博物馆的路都是上坡路,所以如果回程很拥挤,你可以步行回去。
当你把艺术、创新和环境结合在一起时,它就是洛杉矶真正令人惊叹的景点,也是你去洛杉矶时不能错过的东西。
