I rather loved this and I've now got The Getty on my list of places to visit when I return to California some day. I really appreciated the brief yet interesting descriptions and background information of the pieces in the museum, and even found myself reading about antique furniture, which I normally would not do. Beautiful, clear color photos throughout. Highly recommend.
