The Getty Villa in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, USA, is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum. The Getty Villa is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. The collection has 44,000 Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities dating from 6,500 BC to 400 AD, including the Lansdowne Heracles and the Victorious Youth. The UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation is housed on this campus. The collection is documented and presented through the online GettyGuide as well as through audio tours. ==History== In 1954, oil tycoon J. Paul Getty opened a gallery adjacent to his home in Pacific Palisades.〔Storrie at p. 186.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Architecture )〕〔 Quickly running out of room, he built a second museum, the Getty Villa, on the property down the hill from the original gallery.〔 The villa design was inspired by the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum〔 and incorporated additional details from several other ancient sites. It was designed by architects Robert E. Langdon, Jr. and Ernest C. Wilson, Jr..〔Myrna Oliver, (Robert Langdon Jr., 86; Designed 1st Getty Museum ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', August 25, 2004〕〔(Grad student unearths architect’s drawings for Getty exhibition ), USC School of Architecture: School News, July 05, 2013〕 It opened in 1974,〔Moltesen at p. 155.〕 but was never visited by Getty, who died in 1976. Following his death, the museum inherited $661 million〔Lenzner, Robert. ''The great Getty: the life and loves of J. Paul Getty, richest man in the world''. New York: Crown Publishers, 1985. ISBN 0-517-56222-7〕 and began planning a much larger campus, the Getty Center, in nearby Brentwood. The museum overcame neighborhood opposition to its new campus plan by agreeing to limit the total size of the development on the Getty Center site.〔Filler at 215.〕 To meet the museum's total space needs, the museum decided to split between the two locations with the Getty Villa housing the Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities.〔 In 1993, the Getty Trust selected Rodolpho Machado and Jorge Silvetti to design the renovation of the Getty Villa and its campus.〔 In 1997, portions of the museum's collection of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities were moved to the Getty Center for display, and the Getty Villa was closed for renovation.〔 The collection was restored during the renovation.〔 Starting in 2004, the museum and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) hold summer institutes in Turkey, studying the conservation of Middle Eastern Art. Reopened on January 28, 2006, the Getty Villa shows Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities within Roman-inspired architecture and surrounded by Roman-style gardens.〔Moltesen at 157.〕 The art is arranged by themes, e.g., ''Gods and Goddesses'', ''Dionysos and the Theater'', and ''Stories of the Trojan War''.〔 The new architectural plan surrounding the Villa – which was conceived by Boston architects Machado and Silvetti Associates (who were also responsible for the plans for the renovated museum) – is designed to simulate an archaeological dig. ''Architectural Record'' has praised their work on the Getty Villa as "a near miracle – a museum that elicits no smirks from the art world.... a masterful job... crafting a sophisticated ensemble of buildings, plazas, and landscaping that finally provides a real home for a relic of another time and place." There has been controversy surrounding the Greek and Italian governments' claim that objects in the collection were looted and should be repatriated.〔 In 2006, the Getty returned or promised to return four looted objects to Greece: a stele (grave marker), a marble relief, a gold funerary wreath, and a marble statue.〔Carassava, Anthee. (Greeks Hail Getty Museum’s Pledge to Return Treasures. ) ''New York Times'', December 12, 2006. Retrieved September 3, 2008.〕 In 2007, the Getty signed an agreement to return 40 looted items to Italy.〔Povoledo, Elisabetta. (Italy and Getty Sign Pact on Artifacts. ) ''New York Times'', September 26, 2007. Retrieved September 3, 2008.〕〔Filler at p. 221–23.〕 The Villa is frequently and erroneously said to be in the city of Malibu,〔E.g., Storrie at p. 186; Moltesen at p. 155.〕 but the site is in the city of Los Angeles in the community of Pacific Palisades and has a Pacific Palisades mailing address.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Visit the Getty )〕 The Malibu city border begins a mile west of the Villa. The museum itself perpetuates this error,〔http://www.getty.edu/visit/ reads "The Getty Villa in Malibu…"〕 to the irritation of Palisades residents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Getty Villa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
