LA has some great museums. The Getty Villa is one of them. Tickets are free but need to be reserved in advance. Parking is $15 per car.
The villa itself is not large, but has some amazingly detailed architecture and a great outdoor pool garden. A great place for a photoshoot.
We were fortunate enough to have a sunny but not hot day for our visit. The place is not that large and easily explored in 2-3 hours. If you choose to read every single plaque, it will take a little longer. I found the exhibits to be fairly interesting; however, this is not a history museum in the truest sense, so you will be disappointed if you expect a vast number of extremely rare artifacts.

Despite no open fire pits, the day ended well with watching the sunset at Dockweiler Beach. I think that summer rotation is given me a completely false view of what med school is going to be like.
