Chaffey Visits the Getty Villa in Malibu

John Machado, Art History Professor and ASCC Faculty Advisor, and Susan Stewart, Director of Student Activities, joined just over 40 students on a bus trip to the Getty Villa in Malibu on Saturday, March 28. The trip was sponsored by the Associated Students of Chaffey College (ASCC) and funded by the College Service Fee.

The Getty Villa in Malibu is dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. Bordered by coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the Getty Villa evokes the classical world in its architecture, landscape, and gardens, which have been planted with species known to have flourished in the ancient Mediterranean. The Getty Villa is modeled after a first-century Roman country house, the Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum, Italy.
