What to Love in L.A. Today

Free Museums: I hardly need to tell you about how great the Getty is. If you live in L.A., you’ve probably already been there, and if you’re a tourist, the Getty is probably on your list of things to see. The museum regularly features a variety of exhibitions, and as an Angeleno, I always check in from time to time to see what’s showing. The exhibition that caught my eye this time was “From Line to Light: Renaissance Drawing in Florence and Venice,” which features drawings by Titian, Raphael, and a variety of other Italian artists. I like the simplicity of drawings; I find it fascinating what a person can do with only a writing instrument and paper.

Admission to the museum is free, but parking is not ($15). If you’re going to drive, do not go alone, because once you hand over your arm and leg for parking (seriously! $15!) you’re going to need some help getting around the museum.

Getty Museum, 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles; Tues–Fri, Sun: 10 am to 5:30 pm, Sat: 10 am to 9 pm; free admission.
