We look forward to welcoming visitors to the Getty Villa Museum and Getty Center as soon as possible, likely in phases beginning in mid-April.

We will reopen to the public with social distancing and safety measures in place, based on guidance from Los Angeles County public health officials.

Over the past year that we have been closed, we have taken the opportunity to do conservation work with our collection and deep-clean the galleries. Now that we have a timeline for reopening, we will finalize the installation of some galleries and eagerly move forward with our plans to welcome visitors.

Based on the guidelines for reopening indoor museums, the number of visitors will be limited each day, and each visitor will need a free, timed reservation in advance. Face coverings and social distancing will be required, and visitors will have their temperatures checked on arrival. Learn more about our safety measures.

We plan to open the Getty Villa Museum first, followed a few weeks later by the Getty Center. At the Getty Villa Museum, a special exhibition on Mesopotamia will be on view. We will provide specific opening dates and reservation information as soon as it is available.
