The trusty GPS got us there- it also got us home to our lovely house without it having too many conniptions- read voice on machine saying "recalculating" when we decide to use alternate route.
Having parked in the car park (parking lot) early we walked to the tram area- the tram takes all visitors up the hill to the museum complex.
The architect Richard Meier has created a glorious work of art in itself. The aluminum and travertine covered building make a striking introduction to the complex. Part of the entry- I love the contract created by the people sitting and waiting and preparing to explore. 
The grounds themselves are a work of art.
The plantings designed to give deliberate and contrasting colour and line to the buildings themselves.
The skyline is used to emphasize the building also.
The variety of plants provide pictures and patterns throughout the grounds.
Then there is the "central garden" which is the work of Robert Irwin who has described this garden as " a sculpture in the form of a garden, which aims to be art"
And finally within and around the buildings are housed the art works
Sculpture and of course Monet....

Henry Moore and so much that after 5 hours I was exhausted and really had only skimmed the surface.
