While docents do not receive financial compensation, they are offered discounts in the Getty cafe and bookstore, free parking, and educational opportunities. Before working with visitors, docents will participate in a four-month training program to learn about the Getty's architecture, the Museum's collections, elements of art history, and other aspects of the Getty Center. Prior experience in the arts and humanities is not required. Applications must be submitted by May 29, 2001. No parking reservations needed on Saturdays and Sundays or after 4 p.m. on weekdays.
Parking is based on availability.
Reservations are required for weekday parking, event seating, and groups of 15 or more. Reservations are recommended for the Restaurant. Parking on surrounding streets is restricted.
