Apropos Getty, my understanding is that the gentleman cared about fine furniture and classical (Roman) sculpture, which were housed (along with some paintings, namely a Corot) in the original Getty Museum.

This museum was a fine replica of a Pompeian villa (complete with herbs garden patch) in Malibu, and according to the deal with the upscale neighborhood, you either showed up with a bus ticket or made an appointment for parking in the premises. One day last century they were kind to a foreigner who showed up early but unannounced with his family, having just seen a small sign in the road.
