Getty






The Getty is the best place to have a romantic date. The gardens, the beer, the art, the hilltop....just perfect. I am not unpset that Mr Getty had to return some Italian Art, which was sold to him by brokers. The Italian goverment claims it was looted. Well, so it goes. I don't fault Getty. I think he has redeemed himself by his 1 billion dollar musuem offered to the public for free. Sure any art collector will buy things from anyone who has them for sell. This is part of the game of collecting. How much art was looted during WWII? Plenty. His stuff he bought was from antiquity. Who owns that? I love the views from up there.
