Truly breathtaking from the moment you arrive, the Getty Villa is a replica of a 2000 year-old Roman villa, which once overlooked the Bay of Naples near Pompeii, Italy. It is famous for its formal sculpture garden lined by tall, white Roman columns and surrounded by an immense crystal blue reflecting pool. Inside the museum, there are 40 exquisite galleries on two floors with rooms lavishly embellished with marble and gold. The rooms themselves are works of art as are the treasures displayed within them. Not to be missed is the very controversial bronze statue "Victorious Youth", an ancient male nude that historians attribute to Alexander the Great's personal sculptor, which was plundered by Roman soldiers around the time of Christ. Purchased by The Getty in 1977, it is now part of an international scandal and trial as the Italians want it back. The coach departs at 8 am sharp from Celebrity Tours, 4751 E. Palm Canyon Dr. in Palm Springs, and returns to the desert around 6 pm. Participants are asked to be at Celebrity Tours by 7:45 am. | ||||
| This trip is now SOLD OUT and reservations are closed. Thank you for your support! |
