Activity Overview |
||||||
In this pre-visit activity, students watch a video that introduces the history, collections, and setting of the Getty Villa. As a re-imagination of the ancient Villa dei Papiri that was buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., the Getty Villa provides a context and setting for the collection of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art, bringing it to life. Students are encouraged to share their observations and personal reactions to what they see in the video. |
