Getty Center

The Getty Center is a world-class art museum perched in the Santa Monica Mountains, offering an acclaimed collection of European paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts alongside sweeping views of Los Angeles.

Accessible parking is available in the main parking structure, and the campus is navigable via accessible routes throughout, including a tram from the arrival plaza to the hilltop buildings. Accessible restrooms and facilities are located across the campus, and frequent benches and rest areas are positioned along walkways and in the gardens. Reserved wheelchair seating is available in auditorium spaces, and loaner mobility aids — including wheelchairs and electric convenience vehicles — can be requested at no charge.

For visitors who are deaf, hard of hearing, or low vision, the Getty offers captioning for select programs, audio guides for the permanent collection and special exhibitions, and assistive listening devices for lectures and events.

Quiet zones within the galleries provide lower-stimulation spaces for visitors who benefit from reduced sensory input.

Admission is free. Changing stations are available in restrooms across the campus. The Getty’s dedicated accessibility page offers detailed planning information, and staff can assist with individual needs.

Visitors noted that while the museum is highly accessible, not all building entrance doors are automatic — visitors may need assistance opening doors. Wheelchairs board the tram at the end car. Parking can be congested near closing; visitors recommend leaving a bit before close to avoid elevator waits.
