Great architecture possesses a singular power to call people together, shape their interaction, influence their thinking -
and foster community. As the twentieth century draws to a close, Los Angeles stands as a crossroads of world cultures.
It is only fitting, then, that the Getty Center serve both as a focus of international research in the visual arts and humanities
and as a cultural landmark for the people of Los Angeles - a place of intellectual and spiritual renewal, where the experience
of art, architecture, and nature speaks to us of both the achievements of the past and the promise of the future.
