Visitors can choose to walk through the galleries in order. Or, they can meander through the galleries and Museum Courtyard, following whims and urges. Here is where you will find all the Greek and Roman art that will ultimately reside in the Getty Villa in Malibu. There are a number of amenities provided to make your visit both more enjoyable and more educational. In the Entrance Hall, just up from the Tram and Arrival Plaza, there is a coat check, the Getty Bookstore, the Orientation Theater, and the Audioguide Desk.
Numerous publications are also available.
And, on the day we visited, no less than three blimps dotted the skies. There are balconies on each of the Pavilions so you can step outside for a breath of fresh air. The Museum Courtyard, which sits between the Pavilions, has two water fountains, seating with and without umbrellas, and a beautiful view of the Central Garden. The Central Garden lies just west of the Pavilions, between the Museum and the Getty Research Institute. A small stream runs from the north, and paths cut a switchback trail from the south towards a pool of flowers.
