Sightseeing
This is an amazing place to see. In 1954, oil tycoon J. Paul Getty opened a gallery adjacent to his home in Pacific Palisades. Quickly running out of room, he built a second museum, the Getty Villa, on the property down the hill from the original gallery. The villa design was inspired by the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum and incorporated additional details from several other ancient sites.

One of the best concert venues currently in Los Angeles. Sound is excellent. The place is the size of a double living room, so it is very small and intimate, like The Troubadour or The Roxy but sound is way better. General admission-only live-music venue with multiple bars presenting big-name rock & indie bands. Standing only.
