Getty Villa Tour
June 23, 2018
Villa del Papyri was buried in volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It is located in Herculanium, Italy, one of three cities (including Pompeii) destroyed in the eruption. The villa was called “Papyri” because it contained over one thousand books and scrolls, to they called it “Library”. In that library was found the exact blueprints for the villa.
John Paul Getty purchased those blueprints and built a full-scale copy of it. Just as Villa del Papyri was located on a hillside overlooking the Tyrrhenian (Mediterranean) Sea, Getty Villa is located on a hillside in Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The Getty Villa is a museum housing thousands of works of are from ancient Rome and ancient Greece.

I took pictures but did not record what the subject matter was, so in this lot I just named many of them Getty Villa Tour.
