The second, smaller location — the Getty Villa — is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. This museum is inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. The building is a recreation of an ancient Roman country house and its collection includes art from the Stone Age through the fall of the Roman Empire. The Getty Villa is open Wednesday–Monday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Admission is free.
