It would be difficult to find a more accessible museum than the Getty Centre, sitting high on a hilltop overlooking Los Angeles. Of course, the fact that the museum had a few billion dollars to throw at the design and art exhibits had to make a difference. We took the San Diego Freeway to the Getty Center Drive exit. We found ample accessible parking and then took an elevator to the accessible high-tech tram ride to the top of the hill. After a five-minute ride, an incredible view of LA lay at our feet.

The Getty has five two-story pavilions that are situated in a courtyard with fountains. Everything is easy rolling including several eateries and a wonderful garden.

The pavilions house an amazing collection including Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Munch, Pissarro, Rousseau, Van Gogh, Michelangelo, and Albrecht Durer. Photography, Greek and Roman antiquities, 17th and 18th century French decorative arts, and illuminated medieval manuscripts are also on display.

A full-range of eating spots is available. Visitors can either bring their own snacks and use the tables on the plaza or choose a variety of meals from either the restaurant or several cafes.
