Description

Stand before Van Gogh's "Irises" and a Rembrandt self-portrait without spending your visit hunting for them across the Getty Center's 110-acre campus. Your guide maps out the must-see galleries, gardens, and architecture, so two hours feels complete, not rushed.

You'll move through the collection's decorative arts and 12th-century manuscripts, then step outside to see how the gardens and buildings were designed to work together. Along the way, your guide shares stories and historical context you won't get reading wall labels alone.

Stay after your tour to explore at your own pace, or take the tram back down the hill. Your guide will point you toward what's worth seeing next, based on what you're into.
