This major exhibition explores the artistic interplay between the three great cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome from about 2000 BC to AD 300. Highlights include finely crafted vessels sent by Egypt's pharaohs to Crete and Mycenae, Egyptian statues that served as inspiration for the first Greek sculptors, striking portraits blending Egyptian and classical styles, and luxurious objects made for wealthy Romans obsessed with all things Egyptian. The collection of the J. Paul Getty museum at the Getty Center includes pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; 19th and 20th-century American, European, and Asian photographs; contemporary and modern sculpture, and Robert Irwin's Central Garden, designed specifically for the Getty Center. Always on view, the Museum's collection of European paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts is arranged roughly by era and the artist's nationality in galleries that span all four pavilions at the Getty Center. Photographs are always on view in the Center for Photographs. The collection spans the entire history of photographic arts, and includes works from Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
