One of the best things to do in LA (that's free – aside from parking), is visiting the Getty Center.
On a gorgeous sunshiny afternoon, I was able to go with my UCLA Extension class, led by Head Designer of the Getty, Merritt Price. Our focus was looking at the process of putting together an exhibition, which was a different perspective than whenever I've visited before. There's a lot that goes into planning an exhibition including lighting, layout, curator needs, storytelling and concept planning etc. in case you wanted to note these aspects when you visit.
But really, just taking the tram ride up the hill to this place that feels far removed from the busy LA freeway and life below is all you need to understand that this experience goes beyond a quick museum trip. It's a getaway that you could, and should, enjoy all day.
