Beginning June 18, the Getty Center will stay open until 8 p.m. on Saturdays year-round, creating an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the sunset from the iconic hilltop location.
The Restaurant will also serve dinner on Saturday evenings for the first time in more than two years.
Parking, normally $20, is reduced to $15 after 3 p.m. and $10 after 6 p.m. Evening hours also provide a great opportunity to take advantage of Pay Once, Park Twice, where visitors can hop from one Getty location to another in a single day using the same parking ticket.
Getty Center turns 25 this year and to celebrate, a new self-guided tour highlights 25 of the most picturesque spots to take that perfect photo, including some places visitors might not have seen before.
Exhibitions on view on June 18 will include “Judy Baca: Hitting the Wall,” highlighting artist Judy Baca’s famous 1984 mural on a freeway underpass in downtown Los Angeles; Tacita Dean’s mesmerizing film “Pan Americus,” and “Conserving de Kooning: Theft and Recovery,” featuring Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre,” recently recovered and painstakingly conserved by the Getty after its brazen daylight robbery in 1985 from the University of Arizona Museum of Art.
June 18 is also this summer’s second free outdoor “Off the 405” concert, featuring Bartees Strange, the English-born and D.C.-based producer and songwriter whose music is a lively mix of indie rock, hip hop and jazz.
Admission to the Getty Center is free, but advanced reservations are required and can be made at tickets.getty.edu.
Restaurant reservations are strongly recommended. Call (310)440-6810 or visit opentable.com/restref/client/?rid=6285&restref=6285&corrid=09741445-1733-486c-a636-f7bf10e2b6f7.
