Meetups at Museums in Los Angeles

The Getty Center

There's really no museum in the world like The Getty. Join us for these shows and more. There is much to choose from. Then we can meet for drinks in the restaurant with its incomparable view of the city and coast.

Directions:

Parking at the museum is $15 and I'm requesting $2 from everyone to cover our dues to Meetup.

Enjoyed. Very informative. It was nice to take peak at French culture was at the time. It seemed like they were very concerned with time and wanted to appear intellectual. The Cuba exhibit was interesting as well. Unfortunately I underestimate the time it would take to get to the Getty so I got there too late meet the group for the exhibits and drinks. :( But I enjoyed the exhibits none the less.

Got there at 307 because of a long line. Missed everyone but I still went and saw the exhibits and listened to the sculpture and garden tours. Great day. Too bad I couldn't find everyone

Another fun group--art, history, soap opera script.

Deanie rules. It is more than just art and culture. The life lesson and career skill that I learned cannot be described with words.

Sorry, Barbara, it's a good thought. I was thinking most would like to gather for drinks after seeing the shows. A later start wouldn't give us enough time to do that. However, please feel free to do it a little differently. I will post times and locations so you will know how to join up with the group.

Any thoughts about making the start time later? Parking is free on Saturday after 5pm (vs. $15.00) and open until 9pm.
