The Getty Center revisted
The Getty is not just paintings and scupltures; it's also furniture and entire rooms from certain past periods. Most of the furniture and rooms were way too gaudy for my taste but that doesn't mean I couldn't still appreciate the beauty and handcraftsmanship of most of it. Without further ado, see for yourself (keep in mind that photos are a little grainy because the rooms were fairly dark and flash was a definite no-no):

Wow what beutiful things to see. Definintly not todays taste but what wonderful workmanship and care. Would love to go there.
And so just who sat on that throne? Or is it a mere day bed?
Lynn:
Actually, I think my brother would buy this stuff if he could afford it. He likes gaudy antiques.
GrannyJ: The information from the Getty indicates that this bed probably was from a mansion or a palace and the owner of the bed would actually have greeted visitors while still in it. Strange.
