LOS
ANGELES, CA.- The J. Paul Getty Museum announced today
that four permanent collection galleries at the Getty Center will reopen

tomorrow with an innovative reinstallation of sculpture and decorative
arts. One
of the overarching goals of this project was to reinvigorate the display
of
objects by placing them in new contexts and juxtaposing them with works
from
other areas in the Museum’s collection to stimulate new dialogues.
The
most significant change is a shift from an installation organized by
medium
(with separate galleries dedicated to bronze, maiolica, and glass) to a
chrono-thematic configuration that explores a variety of objects from
the same
era. This new presentation integrates other art forms by including
selected
paintings and manuscripts from the Museum’s collection alongside
sculpture and
decorative arts.
