The J. Paul Getty Museum is an operating program of the J. Paul Getty Trust. The Museum's goal is to make the collection meaningful and attractive to a broad audience by presenting and interpreting the collection through educational programs, special exhibitions, publications, conservation, and research.

Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa in Malibu will open in early 2006 after the completion of a major renovation project that has been preparing the cultural landmark for a new mission.

As an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria, the Getty Villa will serve a varied audience through exhibitions, conservation, scholarship, research, and public programs. The Villa will house over 44,000 works of art from the Museum's extensive collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities, of which over 1,200 will be on view at opening. enormous tapestry of Christ in Glory by Graham Sutherland that dominates the East End of the Cathedral.
