LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 25, 2021 - - A wreath in honor of those who lost their lives to COVID-19 rests in the Rotunda while visitors return to The Getty Center for the first time in over a year in Los Angeles on May 25, 2021. The Getty Center, which has been shutdown since March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, reopened to visitors. A thousand tickets were made available to visitors and were all sold out. The tickets were free since The Getty Center does not charge to visit the museum. The Getty Center had specific one-way routes and other measures in place to ensure the safety of visitors and staff. Masks were required for the entire visit. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)

The sprawling Getty Center museum campus in Brentwood will reopen at limited capacity today.

`We are delighted to welcome visitors back to the iconic Getty Center, one of Los Angeles’ most visited cultural destinations,” said Timothy Potts, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum.

To meet COVID-19 restrictions, free advance reservations will be required, with a limited number of spots being offered each day. Some galleries that are too small to allow for social distancing will remain closed, and one-way pathways will be established in galleries and gardens.
