The Getty Center has an amazing collection of art.
This is a link to the collection website; click "Browse" and you get the option of browsing by object/medium OR theme/topic OR artist name. After seeing Degas'
Dancer Taking A Bow, and Van Gogh's
Irises, we spent some time in the Family Room.

The Family Room is neat because little ones get to participate in the art, making masks, moving magnets and mirrors, constructing a sculpture, peeping into 70 tiny holes to view paintings, tracing insects, illuminating a manuscript, or curling up in a
18th century French bed with a bedtime story. (The link is to the real bed that inspired the little one in the Family Room.)

At the Getty, you pay for parking, but admission is free, and you can bring your own food and picnic.

| Yes, you can walk on the grass. |
Something we didn't get a chance to do (but I want to next time) is visit the
Sketching Gallery.
