Museums are intensely interested in finding out what their visitors really think. While we still have old-fashioned comment cards, now Web tools like blogs and Twitter give us a much richer sense of visitors’ perspectives.
Perhaps the most frequent type of comment is from longtime Angelinos who somehow only recently made it to the Getty Center. They are often taken aback by the beauty of the place, and vow to come more often.
Here’s a small sampling of some other recent observations.
“I am only at the tram at the Getty Center and I am already impressed. This is what the future should look like.” [Tweet by wordcore]
“Just learned there’s an exhibit on Bernini at the Getty. He’s one of the most important artists, ever. Seriously. Go to the Getty!!!” [Tweet by lisabeee]
“i love this museum a lot! i’ll say this is the best museum i visited in the states. i had to choose between six flags (a theme park) and paul getty center (museum), christine and i chose the museum, and i’m really glad we did.” [Blog by Amy K. Schubert]
“Wandering around the Getty, feeling like I’m in Jerusalem somehow.” [Tweet by alvalyn]
