Description
In 1974, J. Paul Getty opened his second museum, in a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, Italy, on his property in Pacific Palisades, California. In 1982, the museum became the richest in the world when it inherited $1.2 billion. The Getty was involved in a controversy regarding proper title to some of the artwork in its collection. In 1997, the museum moved to its current location in Brentwood, California and the Pacific Palisades museum, renamed the “Getty Villa” was closed for renovation until 2006. When you enter the “Villa” – this is your first view.
