The $1 billion Getty Museum: Art in loo of bathrooms
3.07 p.m. ET (2008 GMT) March 16, 1998

LOS ANGELES (AP) - It's art in loo of bathrooms.

They forgot to install enough bathrooms at the $1 billion Getty Museum. There are no restrooms in the North or South Pavilions and only one set of small bathrooms, with four stalls in the women's restroom, in the West Pavilion.

"This is one of those unfortunate things that can happen in large construction projects. You realize you made a mistake well into the project, but by then it is too late,'' said Barbara Whitney, the Getty's associate director for administration and public affairs.

Long lines outside the women's restrooms are common on busy weekends at the architecturally grand Getty, where crowds have been running at 5,000 to 8,000.

There are no immediate plans to solve the bathroom shortage, Whitney said, since adding portable toilets is out of the question. They just wouldn't fit in, she said.

But in the long term, more bathrooms are at the top of the museum's list of things to do.

The good news: Drinking fountains are scarce, too.
