free entry and it is such an experience. I took my mom there for her 1st time last June and she was overwhelmed with how beautiful it is. Smallish, but built just like it’s named —a villa. She didn’t realize there was another Getty besides the big one. (Her late husband didn’t like coming to LA area, so she missed out until now).

So sorry about the grounds — that pool area is so stunnng. Glad no one is hurt….and that artwork!
