Museum Visit

The museum that I visited was the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  When you approach the museum you drive in a half-circle into a parking structure; where you park your car and catch an extremely smooth shuttle all the way up to the top of the hill, where the Getty is located.  As the shuttle takes you up the gorgeous, scenic hillside, you can look out the window and see the gorgeous L.A. landscape.  Once you are up to the top of the hill you exit the shuttle onto a gorgeous Greek-like architectural mansion.  The exit of the shuttle up the marble stairs passed fountains is very relaxing and gets you into the relaxing mood that one needs to be in order to enjoy a museum.  The museum has different buildings that have multiple wings inside that hold various exhibits.  The museum is set up with different wings that have topics of artifacts, paintings, readings, and furniture that are set up randomly.  There was not chronological order to any of the exhibits which made it all a little confusing.  To finish the museum experience, they drop you into a beautiful garden experience with a gorgeous fountain.  Overall, the museum was gorgeous but the lack of organization within the exhibit was very confusing.
