"Inside the Getty takes readers on a tour like no other: from J. Paul Getty's original museum in his home near Malibu to the re-creation of an ancient Roman villa on the property; from the seemingly endless corridors that run beneath the Getty Center in Los Angeles to the stunning landscaping that surrounds the structures; from the galleries and storerooms of the J. Paul Getty Museum to the library and special collections of the Getty Research Institute: from the scientific laboratories of the Getty Conservation Institute to the worldwide philanthropy of the Getty Foundation; and from the public places and programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust to the secret spaces and stories of this landmark organization."--Page 4 of cover.
