Where to Find Art, Nature, and Quiet Luxury in Beverly Hills-Without a Celebrity's Budget

"The Mr. Brainwash Art Museum, set in the former Paley Center of Media, now displays the work of Thierry Guetta, aka Mr. Brainwash, known for his street art, murals, sculptures, and pop-culture commentary. From there, continue your cultural journey at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, just three miles east, where you can spend a few hours or an entire day enjoying paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and more from around the world. If there's time, put the Getty Center on your itinerary."

"Speaking of views, don't miss the better than bird's eye perspective from The Rooftop, 12 stories above the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, where you can look out over the city with a cocktail in hand or enjoy an all-day menu or weekend brunch. It's one of many Beverly Hills eateries that combines exceptional food with potential celebrity spotting. Consider Wolfgang Puck's Spago, Mr. Chow, or Massimo Bottura's Gucci Osteria on the rooftop of the Gucci store on Rodeo Drive."
