One of the great boons for LA's art and architecture reputation was the construction of the Getty Center--a stunning hillside arts structure in Brentwood. It opened in 1997 and was designed by 'star-chitect' Richard Meier. The site is also home to a central garden designed by artist Robert Irwin. The total project cost was estimated to have been $1.3 billion.
