If you like the seaside, and ancient art, head to the Villa.
The Getty off of the 405 is huge, and you could spend hours just in one gallery, gazing at the objects within. There's a desk in one of the French galleries that I am lusting over. It's very curvy, soft-edged, and I was very surprised it was made years before Art Neuveo (sp) was in vogue.
Both places make excellent use of water falls/fountains and are very soothing to simply sit down in and contemplate. I'll probably go back to the main Getty this week, probably on Friday, with my Asus and write away.
