Description

What you'll learn in this museum tour:

Made for museum lovers and skeptics alike, our Un-Highlights tour of the Getty Center will show you a side of the Getty you’ve never seen before! 

Join our renegade tour guides on a high-energy, two-hour group tour through this visual arts mecca with a “tasting menu” approach as you learn the crazy true stories behind a selection of art across the Getty’s collection. This is not your grandma’s museum tour.

This tour is perfect for:
  • Those who seek secretive, salacious, scandalous stories 
  • Speed-walkers 
  • People who don’t like museums
Please Note: Our public Un-Highlights tours are now 16+. Families who show up with children under 16 on tour will be asked to leave the tour with a full refund.

No refunds.

  • We’re happy to reschedule any public tour ticket purchases as long as we have 3 business days notice.
  • Once we’re inside 3 business days to your tour, we’re unable to accommodate any changes to your public tour tickets.
In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.

    Our tourguide, Kris, was personable, funny, energetic, and perceptive. We enjoyed his "curriculum" to the max and appreciate how he devised the un-tour stories and games so that we would playfully interact with the works he chose, and our attention never flagged. We learned gross, saucy, and gruesome details that are un-forgettable. Our afternoon at the Getty was un-surpassed!

    Our guide did his best but since I am a museum lover it probably wasn't up my alley but my friends seem to have enjoyed themselves.

    LOVED!! Super fun! Our guide and his colleague were sensational - very friendly and upbeat, professional, well-prepared, very articulate, timely, funny, informative and full of historical and related specifics - a great couple of hours. Our group of five REALLY enjoyed the tour and give a big thumbs up. Would do this again, for sure. So much at the Getty, would never be the same tour twice. Great for small groups.

    This was, by far, the best museum tour I've even been on!! Our guide, Adrian, was incredibly knowledgeable and at the same time, incredibly hilarious! So great to get information about the art and artists with a sense of humor instead of a droll dialogue. We had a wonderfully small group and we all interacted really well. And surprisingly enough, we didn't just walk around and look at and talk about art -- Adrian gave us things to do to make the tour even more fun. Not giving away what we did - everyone else will just have to take a tour to find out. A definite 5 star, thumbs way up kind of tour!

Question from Anonymous
Yes please, I am wondering if I will be able to drive my car all the way to the Getty Center instead taking the train up the hill? Thanks,
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hello there! There is no driving up to the entrance by car. All parking and drop offs happen at the parking garage for the museum. There are designated accessible spaces in the garage and the tram is also accessible if that is of interest. Hope this helps!
Answer from Marsha P. Verified Student
Brenda’s answer is correct. Everyone can only park in the Getty garage and then take the tram to the top!
