The Getty Center, located in Los Angeles, is set to undergo significant renovations designed by Gehry Partners, with a closure scheduled for March 15, 2024. The renovations aim to enhance the visitor experience for the over 1.4 million people who visit annually, including a substantial number of school groups. Key improvements will include a new tram system, which will be updated for the first time in 30 years, featuring new cars and a higher capacity to reduce wait times. The entry area will be redesigned to create a more gracious arrival experience, with the addition of a Welcome Hall featuring a large information screen and an expanded bookstore with a café. Other enhancements will include increased green spaces and the reinstallation of outdoor sculptures. The renovations are part of a broader trend among Los Angeles cultural institutions preparing for the anticipated influx of visitors during the 2028 L.A. Olympics. The Getty Villa will remain open during the renovation period, offering a special collection from the Getty Center.
