Spectrum 14 is a calibrated array of prisms that cast a dazzling display of luminous color across the Museum’s rotunda. Bands of spectral light traverse the space in relation to the sun, which follow a slightly different arc through the sky every day. Over time, Ross’s work changes in response to Earth’s rotational orbit, connecting us to the premodern experience of astronomical observation and calculation that defined cycles of days, seasons, and rituals.
This project was commissioned for PST ART as part of the exhibition Lumen: The Art and Science of Light. This is the second “Rotunda Commission,” a series of art installations inspired by the Getty Museum’s collection, architecture, and site.

Getty Center: The art temple on the top of a hill in Los Angeles is definitely worth a special visit!

Even if you are only slightly interested in art, the Getty Center is still a place that will make your trip worthwhile. It is far more than a museum, but more like a mountaintop cultural paradise that combines architectural wonders, top art collections and beautiful scenery.

Core highlights not to be missed
1. The building itself is a masterpiece of art: the pure white building complex designed by the master architect Richard Meier has simple and smooth lines and a modern feel. Take the iconic cable train slowly up the mountain, full of ritual, and the city scenery of Los Angeles gradually unfolds in front of you, and you are already intoxicated before entering the museum.
2. Hall-level art collection: *The core attraction! From the manuscripts of Renaissance masters, the shocking large paintings of Rubens in the Baroque period, to Van Gogh&#39;s vibrant &quot;Irises&quot; (the brushstrokes are breathtaking when seen up close), Monet&#39;s charming impressionist landscapes, Cezanne&#39;s solid still lifes... The key chapters of Western art history are vividly presented here, with extremely high quality and free to visit (only parking fees are charged).
3. The tranquil and elegant Central Garden: The Central Garden designed by Robert Irving is an oasis in the hustle and bustle. The winding paths, carefully matched plants, gurgling streams and unique water platform maze are full of natural interest and design ingenuity. It is a great place to stroll, relax and relax.
4. The unparalleled viewing platform: Located on the top of Santa Monica Mountain, the view is extremely wide. Standing on the terrace, you can see the city skyline of Los Angeles, the rolling mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean. When the weather is fine, the bustling city and the magnificent nature blend at this moment, especially at sunset, the scenery is particularly shocking.
Is it worth going? Without a doubt, it is highly recommended!
Art lovers must pilgrimage: the quality and breadth of the collection are enough to make people linger.
Architecture and landscape control will fall in love: the perfect dialogue between modern architecture and nature and urban landscape.
Visitors who seek unique experiences: the top of the mountain location, the small train, free high-quality art, the beautiful garden and the view, the combination experience is unique.

Practical tips: Parking is expensive (about $20, $15 after 3pm), so it is recommended to book a parking space on the official website in advance. Reserve at least 3-4 hours to enjoy the experience. Bring a camera, the sunset view is not to be missed!

Summary: The Getty Center combines top art, outstanding architecture, exquisite gardening and magnificent landscapes, providing a high-quality cultural experience full of aesthetic enjoyment and spiritual relaxation that far exceeds ordinary museums. It is not only a cultural landmark in Los Angeles, but also a must-see for anyone visiting Los Angeles.

Santa Catalina Island

[Scenery] A most brilliant pearl among the numerous coastal islands in California, USA. The island is centered on Avalon Bay. This azure and crystal-clear crescent-shaped pier was an excellent place for pirate ships to hide and enter during the Spanish occupation more than 400 years ago. The white &quot;Crescent Beach&quot; is picturesque.
[Fun] Avalon, the only city on the island, is connected to San Pedro and Long Beach on the mainland by ferry and flight. There are seal habitats and underwater parks on the island.

A must-visit project. Few people came in February, and all the projects were easily completed in one day. I took my children to learn about the filming base of the movie, and the experience was full. If you are a fan of American dramas, you must come here. Many scenes of classic American dramas are here

Real &quot;filter&quot; test:

Besieged by commercial noise: The streets are filled with cheap souvenir shops, high-decibel music, and artists selling CDs, and the environment is noisy and chaotic. The romantic imagination of &quot;starlight&quot; is easily shattered by reality.
Expectation management is crucial: don&#39;t expect to meet a star (the probability is very small) or bump into a movie shoot. The Avenue of Stars is essentially a memorial landmark, not a theme park.
Trap area tips: Be careful of high-priced and low-cost attractions such as wax museums and horror houses; be wary of those who actively approach and provide &quot;services&quot;.

Is it worth going? The key lies in the purpose:

Hardcore movie fans/film history enthusiasts: must go! *The feeling of touching the idol&#39;s mark with your own hands and being in the Oscar Hall is irreplaceable.
Tourists who check in Los Angeles for the first time: You can go, but strictly control the time and expectations. Focus on the ritual of &quot;star hunting&quot; (reserve 1 hour), visit the exterior of the Chinese Theater, and look at the mountain landmark from a distance, and regard it as a cultural symbol check-in point.
*Those who seek in-depth cultural experience/hate crowded and noisy: choose carefully or avoid it. The noise may be far beyond
