The J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the Collections

This new edition of the handbook will include many new works acquired since the original volume appeared. The handbook presents highlights of the Museum's seven areas of collection--antiquities, decorative arts, drawings, manuscripts, paintings, photographs, and sculpture and works of art--in an attractive and accessible format. It is a pertinent guide for museum visitors and persons interested in a survey of the Getty Museum's holdings. The first edition of this guide won numerous awards, including the Art Museum Associaton of America's annual publication design competition and the American Association of Museum's award of distinction.
