In December 1997 the J. Paul Getty Museum will open its new house within the impressive Getty Middle, designed by means of the popular architect Richard Meier, and dramatically sited within the Santa Monica Mountains above Los Angeles.

Paul Getty’s ranch space in Malibu and later had been housed within the superb reconstruction of an historic Roman villa that Getty had constructed at the grounds of his Malibu property.
