On Monday I took my parents to the Getty Villa in Malibu. I never knew I lived a 15 mile jaunt down the mountain away from the ocean. I’ll have to take advantage of that in the future.
I don’t know what my parents’ impression of the Villa was – but I was a bit bored. After visiting the “main” Getty Center a few times this miniature Roman Centric version didn’t push my buttons. It was very well done, very relaxing and so on – but it felt a little awkward – a giant property made up like an authentic Roman Villa – to house a few small sculptures and pieces of pottery. The entire collection could have been shoved into one medium size room, but was instead spread out over a two level museum.
We left earlier than anticipated and so ate ice cream in Burbank before I dropped them off for their flight back to Ohio.
okay philosophers….is she taking the pillowcase off…or putting it on…?
