Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour the J. Paul Getty Museum Villa's Conservation Studios.

Gain rare insights into the preservation, treatment, and preventive care of the Museum's antiquities collection. In addition to this behind-the-scenes tour, you will explore the Museum galleries that showcase 44,000 antiquities dating from 6,500 BC to 400 AD as well as the exhibitions Sculpted Portraits from Ancient Egypt (works are on special loan from the British Museum, London) and The Egyptian Book of the Dead featuring the Getty's Book of the Dead manuscripts, which have never been on public view.

We take the stress out of travel. The trip includes round-trip luxury coach transportation, light breakfast, admission fees, a private tour of the Museum's Conservation Studios, and a dinner box with wine for the ride home.

Tickets: $175 Members / $195 Non-Members
