It's thirteen years since we visited the Getty Museum in Los Angeles (back at Christmas, 1997) but I still consider it one of the most impressive museums I have visited. Everything about the Getty seems perfect, at least to the visitor who is made to feel most welcome. What a wonderful experience, to visit a Roman villa, fully restored and containing a wonderful collection of Roman and other art.
