The Getty Museum

Caroline and I got a wild hair and decided to get our new year started with a little culture. Maybe stimulate the baby through second hand art observation. I don't know. Anyways, Caroline had never visited the Getty Museum and so we decided to make it a date night. We got there just as the sun had set and watched from the Santa Monica mountains as the colors of crimson filled the ocean sky. (I know I am not a poet) It was really cool!

The Getty is a really huge free museum on a hill just a few miles from our apartment. Here is a sky view of the museum with the sprawling city in the background.

We actually caught our view a little closer up and mostly at night time so it looked a little more like the photo below. Anyways we saw some original paintings of van Gogh and Monet as well as a whole exhibit of scupture and another of photography.
It is a great FREE treasure here in LA. For those of you out of town we'll have to take you next time you are passing through. Fun times!

Below are a few of the originals that we saw. And us striking some of our favorite poses.
