Trip to the Getty Museum

i visited the Getty Museum on a Friday morning, a great start to the weekend. Woke up early and got ready for the 30 minute drive to the Getty with a couple of friends, i had never been there before so i did not know what to expect. We get there, park and take the tram which already made me enjoy the museum because it was like a little roller coaster ride.


we get off and make our way up the stairs and towards the garden and i was in awe, i love nature so much, i love being around plants and trees and was in love with this area. i could have just stayed here and sit under the trees and look at all the different kinds of plants all day and be content but had some art to explore.


we walk around each wing, spending a good amount of time looking at each painting, photograph or sculpture. it was a joy to see so many different types of art in one place. i was more of a fan for the paintings and photographs then the sculptures. while walking around i spot a painting which just catches my eye because i have seen a painting to it similar before. the painting that caught my eye was The Calydonian Boar Hunt by Peter Paul Rubens and it reminded me a lot of an album cover i have seen before

so i decided that would be the painting i would choose for this project and kept walking around and examining the entire museum, after a couple hours we get through everything and make one last trip through the garden before leaving. i had enjoyed the day and museum very much and hope to visit again many times very soon.
