Summary:During the 20th century, Los Angeles developed a rich but not widely appreciated cultural heritage that is often overshadowed by its Tinseltown reputation. In recognition of the cultural legacy of the city that is home to the Getty Center, the GCI is continuing its long-term commitment to Los Angeles by focusing on ways to contribute to the conservation of the city's significant built heritage.
