Los Angeles has a rich tapestry of museums with extraordinary collections, from the Getty Villa in Malibu and the Norton Simon in Pasadena to MOCA and LACMA in the heart of Los Angeles. The Museum Series—an exciting new take on the Visions and Voices experience—will offer students the opportunity to explore Los Angeles through its museums’ remarkable collections and the philosophies behind each world-class institution.

The beautiful Getty Villa in Malibu is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome and Etruria. The Villa features a permanent collection of approximately 44,000 Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities, of which over 1,200 are currently on view, along with changing exhibitions. Bordered by coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the Getty Villa evokes the classical world in its architecture, landscape and gardens, which have been planted with species known to have flourished in the ancient Mediterranean.
