I visited the Getty Center in Los Angeloes. There are a lot of collections such like painting and drawings from the Middle Ages to the Impressionist period, 19th American and European photographs, contemporary and modern outdoor sculptures and more. The exhibition I focused on was the sculptures from Europe. The approximate square footage of the space is about 4800 square foot and it is divided into three smaller spaces. Pedestals are used to display those sculptures.There are different materials of pedestals such like marble, wood and bronze and the heights of the pedestals are also varied depends on the heights of the sculptures.There are louvers on the ceiling, which help to bring in natural lights and LEDs are surrounded by the louvers to support the display of artwork. The observers are directed to walk around through the big openings, material changes of floor (marble-wood). In additional,I found that the walls that backed up with the artworks were interesting. It looks like polished gray concrete, but it is not totally gray. There some dark grays blended together to create kind of blurry feelings and I think that works very well by helping to emphasize the beauty of artworks.Moreover, there are rounded sofas in the center of spaces for people to rest without blocking the views to the artwork.
