GettyGuide®

    Let our free app be your personal guide to the Getty Museums

    A visitor wears a face mask and earphones attached to a smartphone and looking at a marble bust.

    The GettyGuide app invites visitors to learn more about the art on display in Getty Museum galleries.

    Download Before Your Visit
