The Getty Malibu

The museum was closed for 7 years to add all the hardscapes around it.

In September they perform Greek plays in this amphitheater.

This is the facade.

So it's a reproduction of a villa that was located at Herculanium and was buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius whenever. When I was @ Pompeii I didn't get the aspect of how large these villas were but here (because you're walking thru the rooms) you feel how large and palatial these places were.

This is the entrance to the restrooms. I always check out the restrooms in museums because they are always gorgeous.

This is the central courtyard.
