The Getty Villa

The Getty Villa is located in Malibu,California. This museum is modeled to look exactly like the Villa dei Papyri. In the atrium there are all six replicas of the statue of the Girl Fastening her Peplos. They were all surrounding this small pond of water. When all of the statues are close together, it is easy to see what she is doing. Discovering Villa dei Papryi helps give a better explanation of life that was buried before Mount Vesuvius erupted
