EnglishWhat News, Stories, and Exhibitions You Can Explore on getty.edu
Updated
getty.edu publishes three main kinds of editorial content: exhibition features tied to current museum shows, a "News & Stories" feed of short articles, and collection- or curator-focused explainers. You can browse all of it without an account, and the site's own navigation groups it under "News & Stories" and exhibition pages. The sections below describe what each type contains and how to reach it.
Exhibition features
The homepage spotlights a current exhibition with a short description and a link to explore it. The example shown in the site's page evidence is Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Passions, described as the artist's first solo museum presentation in his hometown of Los Angeles, in which he highlights the drama and theatricality behind 17th-century Italian paintings from Getty's collection. These pages are the place to check what is on view at a given moment and to read the curatorial framing before or after a visit.
News & Stories
The "News & Stories" section collects articles, each with a headline, a one-line summary, and a date. The page evidence shows the range of subjects:
| Article | What it covers | Date shown |
|---|---|---|
| The Cozy Recipes Getty Staffers Are Cooking Up This Holiday Season | Staff members describe handed-down or newly discovered recipes they make every fall or winter | Oct 16, 2026 |
| Revealing the Secrets of a 16th-Century Painting | Elaborate details that make one artwork a Getty curator's favorite | Oct 13, 2026 |
| The Face on the Leaf | Accra Shepp explains how he prints photographs on plant leaves, a process he perfected | Oct 13, 2026 |
The pattern is worth noting: the feed mixes behind-the-scenes staff culture, close looking at collection objects, and artist process stories. If you are researching a specific work, the curator-led pieces are the most directly useful; if you want a sense of how the institution works day to day, the staff pieces serve that purpose.
Collection and curator perspectives
Beyond the feed, Getty frames its holdings as spanning ancient to modern times and offers a dedicated path to learn about the art and to explore research and conservation work in Los Angeles and worldwide. Articles like the 16th-century painting piece are entry points into that material: they take a single object and unpack the details a curator notices. Use them when you want interpretation rather than catalog data.
How to keep up with new content
- Sign up for e-newsletters through the "Stay Connected" prompt on the site to receive updates rather than checking back manually.
- Browse "All News & Stories" to see the full archive rather than only the homepage highlights.
- Check exhibition pages for the current show; the featured exhibition changes, so the homepage is a snapshot, not a permanent list.
What this content is and isn't
These pages are editorial and interpretive. They are not the same as Getty's research databases, software and APIs, or K–12 teaching resources, which the site lists separately under "All Resources." If your goal is scholarly or technical material, start from the resources section; if your goal is to decide whether an exhibition or story is worth your time, the news and exhibition pages give you enough to judge.
