This is an interesting introduction to the Getty Center; it talks a little bit about some of the things that kids will be most interested in, like the tram and the cafeteria (ha ha), and also gives a very brief history of J. Paul Getty and the founding of the museum, how it was built, etc. When I say very brief, I mean it, like 1 or 2 sentences!

It gives a very brief overview of the different parts of the Getty, such as the Research Institute and the conservation area, as well as going over the different collections, such as sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, paintings, drawings, etc. It ends, as most tours of the museum do, in the central garden.

You'll notice Seibold/Walsh creation Mr. Lunch and the evil elephant in some scenes, as well as the inclusion of some of the Getty's more famous acquisitions.

I think it probably serves it's purpose well, in giving a very general overview of the museum. However, it skips around somewhat non-linearly and jumps from topic to topic without much transition - it doesn't read smoothly is what I'm trying to say. Also very very far from in depth, ha. But still worthwhile. ( )
