Grand mountain of brown steel by Ludwig, setting off many copycats. As Joe Public can’t get very far into the building, and the plaza is not designed for hanging out in, people congregate at the edge by the reflecting pool to eat their hot dogs – on a very popular onyx seat. Maybe it’s called the Barcelona corner.

J. Paul Getty Museum

Very large and lots of cold stone. Angelos love to lie on the lawns in Summer. And bloody hard to get to and from on the infrequent bus… what do you expect from an oil magnate. It’s free.

Eames House

You must book in advance to visit. You can catch Big Blue Bus #9 straight there from Santa Monica, but you’ll need a map as it isn’t visible from the street. The house is in mint condition, and the interiors have been preserved from when the Eames lived there. If you’ve done a half decent sketch let them know a they are intending to publish a book of them (2006). The neighbour’s house is also by the Eames, you can peek over the fence.
