Getty Villa : <font size=3pt face='times' color=seagreen>Oil magnate J. Paul Getty used some of his vast wealth to amass an incredible art and antiquities collection. In the early 70s, he had a Romanesque villa constructed next to his house to be a permanent museum for his collection. The Getty Villa, modeled after the partially excavated Villa dei Papiri in Italy, became the home of the J. Paul Getty Museum in 1974. After a nine-year, $275 million renovation and expansion the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa has re-opened as home to the Museum’s Antiquities Collection. In terms of pure grandeur, it puts most other art museums to shame. Only the Huntington Library & Gardens can rival the Getty Villa for the sheer beauty of its grounds and buildings. Perched atop a small hill overlooking Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, the Getty Villa sits in all its elegance like some grand Roman villa of old. (http://www.getty.edu/visit/) In this location, I used the Nikon D40 and the Nikon AF-S 18-70 DX. The lens came through as with the San Juan Capistrano shoot.</font>

Bishkek - State Historical Museum 05/2009 : This museum used to be the Lenin Museum. Although I'm by no means a fan of communist regimes, some very unique exhibts are on display. With unique I don't imply the communist heroes, but rather the Kyrgyz history and art exhibits. And BTW the museum charges you an arm and leg for using the camera. Don't know if this was Lenin's intenion.
