The sprawling Getty Center museum campus in Brentwood will reopen at limited capacity today.
`We are delighted to welcome visitors back to the iconic Getty Center, one of Los Angeles’ most visited cultural destinations,’’ said Timothy Potts, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum.
To meet COVID-19 restrictions, free advance reservations will be required, with a limited number of spots being offered each day. Some galleries that are too small to allow for social distancing will remain closed, and one-way pathways will be established in galleries and gardens.
