    Information about location reopening

    • Getty Villa Museum

      A rectangular pool holding a bronze sculpture of a reclining satyr on a rock is surrounded by a lush garden with a peristyle that connects to a two-story building in the style of a Roman villa with several columns.

      As always, admission is free and timed-entry reservations must be made in advance.

    • Getty Center

      Aerial view of the Central Garden’s tree-lined path and circular azalea fountain to the left of the circular Getty Research Institute building.

      Admission is free, though visitors are temporarily required to make a timed-entry reservation in advance.

    Keeping Everyone Safe

    We are following LA County Department of Public Health orders and LA City mandates as they are updated. These safety measures are currently in place.

    • Face Masks

      All Getty Center visitors, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask on the tram, which is considered public transportation.

      Fully vaccinated visitors may be unmasked indoors.

      Visitors who are not fully vaccinated must wear a well-fitting mask while indoors, except when actively eating or drinking.

      Please note:

      • We recommend wearing a N95, KN95, or surgical mask, as they are highly effective at preventing the transmission of viruses. The mask should fit snugly against your nose and chin.
      • The following are not permitted to be worn instead of a face mask: gaiters, bandanas, scarves, ski masks, balaclavas, or masks with an exhalation valve.
      • Face shields are also not allowed instead of a mask, but may be worn over one.
    • Cleaning

      High-touch surfaces such as door handles and handrails are being cleaned regularly. So are tables, counters, and chairs in the cafes. Restrooms are being cleaned four times a day. The Center Tram is being cleaned before opening, hourly during operating hours, and after closing.

    • Hand Sanitizer

      Find hand sanitizer near doors and other high-touch areas.

    • Contact Tracing

      In the event of an outbreak of COVID-19, the name, email address, and phone number associated with the person who booked the reservations may be shared with public health authorities or used to support contact tracing.
