Facilitated Visits
College and university faculty may arrange a visit facilitated by Museum educators. These visits are tailored to the needs and interests of faculty and students and complement classroom learning. To get the most out of these opportunities, faculty should submit a request to visit the Getty Center with students. Contact us at least one month in advance of the preferred date for the visit. A representative of the education department will contact the professor to discuss the visit in more detail, including which artworks the students will view at the Museum and the goals of the instructor. In addition to a single visit, we welcome proposals for multiple visits by a class, sessions in Museum study rooms, and workshops with Museum staff and practicing artists.
For further information, please contact the Education Department at (310) 440-6404 or by e-mail at academicprograms@getty.edu. However, the request form below is the best way to initiate plans for a visit.
