WELCOME TO THE GETTY MUSEUM!
During today’s visit you’ll be acting as a special kind of detective.  The evidence you have to work with is the art on display here in the Museum at the Getty Center. These artworks may be beautiful to look at, but they’re also artifacts or objects made and used by people in the past and filled with clues about those people and the world in which they lived.

This packet contains five activities that explore artworks as artifacts. Check with your teacher first, and then number each activity in the order in which your group will complete them:

Number	Activity						Location				 

______ 	Italian Painting 					(North Pavilion)
______ 	Portrait Study 					(South Pavilion)
______ 	Courtly Styles					(South Pavilion)
______ 	Detail Detective 					(South Pavilion)
______	Show What You Know 	  			(do this at the end of your visit)

Take about twenty minutes to do each activity. Remember to look carefully at the art, and ask yourself questions about anything that puzzles you.  You’ll find your best ideas and answers this way; check the label on the wall for more information afterward.
