Curator-led tour of the special exhibition, “Visualizing the Virgin Mary” at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles

All current members of the California and Northwest Chapters of the Patrons are cordially invited to join us at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 1st for a curator-led tour of the special exhibition, "Visualizing the Virgin Mary."

We are pleased to offer both a morning (10:30am) and afternoon (1:30pm) tour, and all Patrons are invited to a multi-course seated luncheon at the Museum Restaurant (11:30am). On your RSVP, please indicate whether you would like a morning or afternoon tour, and whether or not you are able to stay for lunch. We look forward to seeing as many Patrons as possible at this special event!

Vibrant, illuminated manuscripts depict stories of the Virgin Mary that attest to her role as one of the most adored figures in the Christian tradition.

The exhibition highlights the Virgin Mary’s life, acts of miracles, and the interpretation of her image in the Middle Ages. The exhibition also explores the legacy of Marian imagery in the Americas, especially the Virgin of Guadalupe. Visualizing the Virgin Mary is the first Getty exhibition to focus on the Virgin Mary since the exhibition The Queen of the Angels over two decades ago.
