The Getty Villa in Malibu,
The Villa is a
reconstruction of the Villa dei Papiri in
This means that, although most visitors will rush to the entrails of the Villa to have a close look at the superb collection of antiquities, it is worth to spend time looking at the building itself.
I already gave a
detailed description of the Villa in my earlier blog, The renovated Getty Villa in
It so happened that the Getty Villa posted this revealing video, which interestingly entirely matches my own impressions.
The 1,200 antiquities on display at the Villa
are all of extremely high quality and often tell a story of their own. Given
the total of approximately 44,000 such artifacts to choose from, you’ll find
something new to discover each time you visit the Getty Villa.
We should keep in mind that the layout of a
Roman villa is a mere copy of what Alexander
experienced back home in
