Both sites will also be open for the Fourth of July holiday.
At the Getty Center
From May 30 through August 29, the Getty Center will stay open until 9pm on Fridays as well as Saturdays, giving visitors another long summer evening to enjoy the art, gardens, and views.
This summer, exhibitions include The Scandalous Art of James Ensor, which charts James Ensor’s astonishing artistic development in the decade culminating with his avant-garde masterpiece, Christ’s Entry into Brussels in 1889 (1888), and Minor White: Manifestations of the Spirit, a retrospective exhibition of one of the most controversial, misunderstood, and overlooked 20th-century photographers.
Also on view will be Convergences: Selected Photographs from the Permanent Collection, Rococo to Revolution: 18th-Century French Drawings from Los Angeles Collections, and Chivalry in the Middle Ages.
On May 30, the Getty Center launches extended Friday hours with Friday Flights, an evening that fuses music, art, discussion, and dance. Each Friday Flight includes a collaboration between the Getty and a featured musician or cultural tastemaker who creates a specially curated evening inspired by an exhibition on view. The summer will also include the longstanding music series Saturdays Off the 405, making the Getty a premier destination for free evening music.
The Restaurant will be open for dinner, and the Courtyard Coffee Cart will be open until 8pm on Friday and Saturday evenings.
At the Getty Villa
The Getty Villa will be open until 9pm on Saturdays from May 30 to August 23 (with the exception of July 19), offering weekend visitors more time to explore the museum’s Greek and Roman antiquities.
On view through August 25, Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections features mosaics, icons, frescoes, sculpture, manuscripts, metalwork, jewelry, glass, embroideries and ceramics drawn from Greek collections. Also on view is the ongoing exhibition Molten Color: Glassmaking in Antiquity.
The coffee cart will be open until 8pm and will offer sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks.
Parking at both locations, normally $15, is discounted to $10 after 5pm. The extended hours also create another good opportunity to take advantage of the Getty’s “Pay Once, Park Twice” program, in which you can park at both the Getty Villa and the Center on the same day for one $15 parking fee.
