Discover connections between works of art from ancient Mexican and Roman empires, and get lesson ideas for linking these two cultures.
European exploration and colonization of the Americas in the 16th century coincided with the Renaissance rediscovery of classical antiquity. A unique exhibition coming to the Getty Villa, The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire, presents masterworks of Aztec sculpture as the point of departure for a comparative approach to the monumental art of two great empires–the Aztec and the Roman.

Current Exhibitions

Three contemporary photographers explore three cities: Catherine Opie drives by L.A.'s mini-malls, Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao rides the number 7 subway from Queens to Manhattan in New York, and Soo Kim looks down on Reykjavík, Iceland during the summer solstice. Their carefully composed, large-format images capture the character and tempo of three dramatically different urban environments in the exhibition Urban Panoramas: Opie, Liao, Kim.
Explore this exhibition with students in grades 6–12 and use the first lesson in our Exploring Photographs curriculum, "Methods of Visual Analysis," to have students interpret and analyze the photographs. Prompt students to photograph skylines, public transportation, and shopping centers at various times of day to capture the character and tempo of their own environments.
View the lesson "Exploring Photographs, Lesson 1–Methods of Visual Analysis."
Learn more about the exhibition Urban Panoramas: Opie, Liao, Kim, on view at the Getty Center through June 6, 2010.
