Go on a humorous, mind-tingling search for nudity
...at the amazing Getty Center. You don’t need to know anything about art or the museum—or nudity—to solve our tricky questions. Highlights include a sultry dog whisperer, slapstick with a lemon, an ancient game of wife swap, Toulouse-Lautrec’s “moodel,” Mischief’s bear hide, a Cupid who pulls a Mike Tyson move, a god who enjoys children (preferably with a bit of mustard), and much more. After the hunt, linger in the mountaintop gardens for a great view of the sunset.Please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the hunt to park and take the tram up to the museum. Contact us to learn more and get in the game!
