The Getty offers a new walking tour

Los Angeles, CA

The Getty Center docents are offering a new walking tour of the Getty's gardens, including an overview of the Center's flora. This is part of a recent series of programs sponsored by the Getty, which attempt to broaden the traditional boundaries of "art" to include landscapes and architectural design. Visitors will be introduced to the site's four planting zones through stops at the Museum courtyard, the cactus garden, the palm court, and overlooking Robert Irwin's Central Garden. Tour groups can also take the experience home with them with the Getty's new "Seeing the Getty/Seeing the Getty Gardens: Boxed Souvenir Set" which includes color photographs of the Getty Center --from the noted architecture to the breathtaking outdoor spaces-- combined in a single boxed set. Tours will be offered daily and last approximately an hour. For more information call 310-440-7300 or visit the Web site at www.getty.edu/museum.
