| dc.description | Copy of "Hermes at Rest", bronze statue, 1st century CE, from the great peristyle of the Villa dei Papiri, Herculaneum (the Villa dei Papiri statue, itself a copy of a Hellenistic bronze original by Lysippus dating to the end of the 4th or the beginning); Based on 1st century Roman villa. The Villa is frequently and erroneously said to be in Malibu, but it is actually in the city of Los Angeles in the wealthy community of Pacific Palisades. In 1974, Getty opened the Getty Villa as his second museum in a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, as well as incorporating details from several other ancient sites. In 1997 the main part of the museum moved to its current location in Brentwood to become the Getty Center and the Palisades museum, renamed the "Getty Villa", was closed for renovation. Reopened on January 28, 2006, the Getty Villa once again holds Greek and Roman sculptures housed in the interim at the Getty Center.
