12. The Getty Villa in Malibu is pretty special

I know most people gravitate towards the art museum at the top of the hill, but the Villa has superb collections of ancient art.

I found the busts of Roman figures to be quite captivating; seeing the faces and hairstyles of people from those times made me feel a close connection with them. There are some astoundingly delicate jewelry and metalwork pieces that demonstrate the high degree of artistic and sophisticated skills that were practiced over two thousand years ago. And there's some "interesting" Greek pottery on display that would set tongues wagging if they were included in a road show in Topeka or Fort Worth.
