The Getty Center
1____ The Getty center attracts 1.1 million visitors a year. It is one of the most popular art museums in the US. One reason for it popularity may be that the Getty is free. No tickets to buy, and no reservations needed. There is a $15 parking fee, but you do not have to pay for parking after 5 p.m. and there is convenient public transportation.
2____ A tram（接驳车）carries you from the parking area up to the hilltop campus. When you step out, you come face to face with views of the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica mountains, and the vast open area of Los Angeles.
3____ Then you will see the five main buildings that house the museum’s collection surrounding a central courtyard. The buildings are connected by glassed walkways. So you can enjoy the view again while you move from one building to another. One of the outstanding characteristics of the museum is the natural light that shines through each building’s computer-controlled louvers （百叶窗）. It allows viewers to look at paintings in the same natural light in which they were created.
4____ Part of the large campus is used for a series of gardens. The central garden was designed by Robert Irwin. He himself built everything from the handrails （扶手）to the waterfall to create a special and artistic experience in nature.
5____ The Getty center makes an effort to satisfy visitors. There is a café that offers lunches and snacks. There is also a restaurant for more formal meals, but is usually requires reservations. The museum includes a family room that lets kids create artwork and offers educational programs for everyone.
