The gardens of the Getty Center are stunning, as are the views from the many terraces and walkways on the outsides of the buildings. Of course we spent a substantial amount of time inside the buildings as well, seeing an exhibit on the stained-glass windows of Canterbury Cathedral and some related manuscripts, seeing the permanent collection of 19th century art, and a few other galleries.
