The Getty Center, in Los Angeles, California, is a campus of the Getty Museum and other programs of the Getty Trust.

The J. Paul Getty Museum's estimated 1.8 million visitors annually make it one of the most visited museums in the United States. The collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum on display at the Getty Center includes "pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; and 19th- and 20th-century American and European photographs".
The paintings include:
Terrace between pavilions looking toward Exhibitions Pavilion and Rotunda.
Arii Matamoe (The Royal End) by Paul Gauguin (1892). The museum's director, Michael Brand, stated that the purchase of the painting was "one of the key moments in the history of our collection".
The literal translation of the Tahitian words of the title are "noble" and "sleeping eyes", which implies "death".
Irises by Vincent van Gogh (1889). The museum purchased the painting in 1990; it had sold for $53.9 million in 1987.
Portrait of a Halberdier by Pontormo (1528–1530).
When the museum bought the painting for $35.2 million at an auction in 1989, "the price more than tripled the previous record at auction for an Old Master painting".
A copy of Portrait of Louis XIV, which measures 114 x 62-5/8 inches, by the workshop of Hyacinthe Rigaud (after 1701).
Getty's extensive photograph collection is located on the lower level of the west pavilion.

The museum building consists of a three-level base building that is closed to the public and provides staff workspace and storage areas.

The Getty Center, located in Brentwood off the west side of the 405 freeway, showcases European art amid modern architecture and bird's-eye views of Los Angeles.
