Getty Villa Malibu
Casa Blahnka captured the timeless grandeur of The Getty Villa in Malibu, a stunning museum and cultural landmark inspired by ancient Roman architecture. Through expert photography, we highlighted the Villa’s intricate details, classical design, and breathtaking coastal setting, showcasing its meticulously landscaped gardens, columned courtyards, and world-renowned art collections.
Modeled after the Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum, the Getty Villa transports visitors to a bygone era, offering an immersive experience in Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities.
Perched above the Pacific Ocean, the Villa spans 64 acres, featuring gilded mosaics, marble sculptures, and intricate frescoes that echo the grandeur of ancient civilizations.
The estate includes four tranquil gardens, a 250-seat outdoor theater, and a vast collection of 44,000+ antiquities dating from 6,500 B.C. to 400 A.D. Every angle of the Getty Villa tells a story of art, history, and architectural brilliance, making it one of California’s most iconic cultural treasures.
