The Getty Center opened in 1997 on a ridge above the 405, Richard Meier’s travertine pavilions reached by tram from the garage at the foot of the hill. Admission is free; parking is not. Robert Irwin’s central garden and the west terraces face the ocean, and the museum keeps later hours on Saturdays.
