We visited the Getty Villa. It is a museum located in the Los Angeles area by the ocean near Malibu. It is a gorgeous place! The J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa is home to an extended collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiques, one of America's finest holdings of ancient art.
This museum is a big house (villa) modeled after a Roman country house.
The Atrium was the main public room in a Roman house. The ceiling, open to light and air, allowed rainwater to enter and be capture in, where it was channeled to a underground cistern. The Romans were experts in creating houses that utilize the rain water well.
