This completely revised and expanded Handbook of the Collections celebrates the opening of the new J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center. It begins with an essay tracing the history of one of the world's most fascinating private museums and the life of its billionaire founder, J. Paul Getty. Accompanying a lively text are 375 color photographs of the best and most beautiful objects in the Museum's seven collections: antiquities, illuminated manuscripts, paintings, drawings, decorative arts, sculpture, and photographs.
