	ArtLex on Museums
		Museums are seen to be educational instruments for the systematic organization and presentation of artistic and natural phenomena.
		The museum stands in contrast to the Kunstkabinette and Kunstkammer, or cabinet and chamber of curiosities, of the Renaissance, where odd and wondrous rarities were brought together for private contemplation and pleasure.
		Museums operate under the leadership of a board of trustees, who oversee the activities of a director, a person who in turn supervises the work of curators, preparators, registrars, librarians, security guards, and others.

	Getty Museum
		I was at the Getty at 11 am on a Saturday morning in March 1998 and folks who'd arrived by bus had to stand on line for about an hour before earning the right to stand on line for another 20 minutes before boarding the tram.
		Joseph Chen, May 07, 2002; 01:04 A.M. While the Getty Museum is an architectural landmark, there is no question in my mind that it does not have the finest art collection in the city.
		Merrily McCarthy, May 11, 2003; 03:08 A.M. It is my perception that the museum is more of a monument to the financial fulfillment of the acrhitect, making artistic compliments the least or even ludicrious, if not silly in their attempt at social importance.

	Ed Ruscha - Getty Exhibiton 1998
		In conjunction with the opening of the new Getty Center, the J. Paul Getty Trust commissioned Ruscha to produce a large painting for the lobby of the Harold M. Williams Auditorium.
		The commission was overseen by Lisa Lyons, a consultant to the Getty and a respected curator of contemporary art, formerly of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and most recently of the Lannan Foundation in Los Angeles.
		When he was asked by the Getty to propose a painting for the tall, narrow wall in the daylit lobby of its new Auditorium, Ruscha chose a motif he had been developing for several years: a rectangular window with cross-shaped window mullions casting pronounced light and shadows onto the floor.

		Museum officials are still compiling demographic data on their visitors, but during both of my visits, the patrons were surprisingly diverse in ethnicity and age, and the subterranean parking lot's berths were filled with battered Celicas and Ford trucks, as well as with Range Rovers and Mercedes.
		But the Getty's admirers insist that the depth and breadth of the museum's collection is beside the point, and the visitors on hand seemed to agree.
		The entire group found this to be an excellent idea, and off they went, saving their Getty trip for another day and proving what the owners of multiplex theaters have known for years: that customers who can't get in to the main attraction will often opt for a second or third choice instead.

		In 1993, a year before his appointment, he was examining some of the museum's prized old masters when he told George Goldner, then curator of the collection, that he was sure one of the drawings -- a pen-and-ink study of a female figure attributed to Raphael -- was a forgery.
		The Getty is, by far, the wealthiest art museum in the world, with an endowment of roughly $5 billion.

		Attorneys for the J. Paul Getty Museum have determined that half the masterpieces in its antiquities collection were purchased from dealers now under investigation for allegedly selling artifacts looted from ruins in Italy.
		In response to the Italian investigation, Getty lawyers combed through the museum's files and questioned staff members over several months in 2001, trying to assess the legal exposure of the world's richest art institution.
		Those documents show that Getty officials had information as early as 1985 that three of their principal suppliers were selling objects that probably had been looted and that the museum continued to buy from them anyway.
