Ancient Greeks took wine and conversation seriously. Come celebrate drinking and thinking at the reinstalled Getty Villa, where our focus is on the exhibition Plato in LA: Contemporary Artists' Visions. Learn about Plato's relevance today from classicist and Plato expert Kathryn Morgan of UCLA, then enjoy wine, appetizers, and conversation with fun-loving philosophers in the picturesque outdoor setting of the Getty Villa. Ponder exhibition themes, the meaning of truth, and what constitutes a good life. Tickets: $65. Complimentary parking.
