A one-of-a-kind destination – The Getty Villa<\/a><\/strong> is offering ancient Greek and Roman art, tranquil gardens, and ocean breezes!<\/p>\n

Architecture<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Constructed in the early 1970s<\/strong> by the architects who worked closely with founder J. Paul Getty, The Getty Villa is modeled after the Villa dei Papiri<\/strong> in Herculaneum, Italy.<\/p>\n

Since The Villa dei Papiri (“Villa of the Papyruses”) is buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79, much of the Villa dei Papiri remains unexcavated. Therefore, architects based many of the Museum’s architectural and landscaping details on elements from other ancient Roman houses in the towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. The scale, appearance, and some of the materials of the Getty Villa are taken from the Villa dei Papiri\u2014such as the floor plan\u2014though it is a mirror of the original.<\/p>\n

Gardens are integral to the setting of the Getty Villa, as they were in the ancient Roman home, and include herbs and shrubs inspired by those grown in ancient Roman homes for food and ceremony.<\/p>\n
