The London Transport Museum is a transport museum based in Covent Garden, London. The museum mainly hosts exhibits related to the heritage of London's transport, as well as conserving and explaining the history of it. The majority of the museum's exhibits originated in the collections of London Transport, but, since the creation of Transport for London in 2000, the remit of the museum has expanded to cover all aspects of transportation in the city.
The museum operates from two sites within London. The main site in Covent Garden uses the name of its parent institution, and is open to the public every day, having reopened in 2007 after a two-year refurbishment. The other site, located in Acton, is known as the London Transport Museum Depot and is principally a storage site of historic artefacts that is open to the public on scheduled visitor days throughout the year.
The museum was briefly renamed London's Transport Museum to reflect its coverage of topics beyond London Transport, but it reverted to its previous name in 2007 to coincide with the reopening of the Covent Garden site.

El Getty Center o Centro Getty se encuentra en el 1200 de la calle Getty Center Drive del barrio de Brentwood de Los Ángeles, California .
El Centro Getty funciona como un campus donde se encuentra la sede principal del Museo J. Paul Getty, la Fundación Getty, un Instituto de Investigación, un Instituto de Conservación y el Fideicomiso Getty, además de las instalaciones de un auditorio y varios jardines.
El nombre del centro alude al empresario y filántropo estadounidense Jean Paul Getty , quien aportó a un fideicomiso llamado J. Paul Getty Trust cuantiosos fondos, su colección privada de arte y una villa de estilo romano ubicada en la cotizada zona residencial de Pacific Palisades . Este magnate había adquirido arte desde la década de 1930, si bien de manera informal, y fue a partir de la donación cuando su colección empezó a crecer de manera sistemática y alcanzó rango internacional.
En el citado palacio-museo se inauguró, en 1974, el Museo J. Paul Getty, que su web oficial denomina más coloquialmente Getty Villa. Alberga los fondos de arte grecorromano, en sintonía con su estilo arquitectónico inspirado en las villas antiguas de Pompeya y Herculano.
La apertura del Centro Getty en Los Ángeles, diseñado por Richard Meier e inaugurado en 1997, supuso el traslado de casi todas las colecciones artísticas, salvo las piezas griegas y romanas que permanecen en la citada villa de Malibú.
El acceso al Centro Getty es gratuito, la única tarifa es la del estacionamiento para el público visitante que es de 10 dólares por automóvil.

Cyfarthfa Castle is a castellated mansion that was the home of the Crawshay family, ironmasters of Cyfarthfa Ironworks in Park, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. The house commanded a view of the valley and the works, which ‘at night, offer a truly magnificent scene, resembling the fabled Pandemonium, but on which the eye may gaze with pleasure’. Cyfarthfa loosely translates from the Welsh for place of barking. The reason is hunting dogs were regularly heard in this area of the town, hunting polecats and weasels among others.
Despite appearing to be a fortified building, it is a house built in the style of a large mansion with a large kitchen, bake house and dairy, billiard room, library, and a range of reception rooms. In addition, there is a brew house, icehouse and extensive storage cellars that used to contain over 15,000 individual bottles of wines and spirits such as Sherry, Champagne, Whiskey, Brandy, Madeira Wine, and over 7,500 bottles of port. Adjoining the building were also stable blocks and coach houses. The castle stands in 158-acre of parkland, now called Cyfarthfa Park and maintained by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council.
