Naomi and I visited the Getty Villa. The Getty Villa is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum. The Getty Villa is an educational center and museum dedicated to the
study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. The collection has 44,000 Greek, Roman, and
Etruscan antiquities dating from 6,500 BC to 400 AD. It was a wonderful place to visit. Lots of Greek and Roman artwork and statues. After spending 3 hours there, we headed back to my home for an early night before heading back to Comic Con tomorrow.
