| The world's richest museum with an endowment of nearly $5 billion, the Getty Center is a white city on a hill. A tribute to the philanthropy of J. Paul Getty, the billionaire oil magnate and art collector, the museum houses magnificent European paintings, drawings, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, decorative arts, American and European photographs, as well as French furniture. A magnetically levitated tram carries visitors up the hill from the parking facility! |
