Although we may be coming upon our release from lockdown, we won’t be winging our way off to Getty Museum any time soon. With this in mind, here’s a wonderful selection of virtual and online experiences for you to indulge in in the meantime.
Playlists from LA DJs
Back in 2018, Getty asked a group of DJs to create a playlist each based on their experience of visiting the Getty Villa’s new galleries and the exhibitions on Plato and Palmyra. You can listen to all of the playlists here
Explore the Getty Collection on Google’s arts platform
Settle in with a cup of coffee or a glass of red, and get ready to explore some of Getty Museum’s fantastic exhibitions from your couch. Using Google Arts and Culture, you can explore exhibitions like The Art of Three Faiths: Torah, Bible, Qur’an, Director’s Choice: Getty Museum Acquisitions 2019, and Eighteenth-Century Pastel Portraits.
