Book excerpt: Inside the Getty takes readers on a tour from the Getty Villa to the Getty Center, from the Museum’s original home in J. Paul Getty’s house to the many labs, libraries, and galleries that fill the Center in Brentwood today. Readers will discover more about the history and daily operations of this institution. The second edition refreshes the illustration program with more recent photography and brings the text up to date with new information about some of the Museum’s most prominent new acquisitions, the Getty Research Institute’s holdings, the work done by the Getty Conservation Institute and the Getty Foundation, and changes to Getty operations site-wide.
