I greatly look forward to leading the Getty Museum as it prepares to add the magnificently renovated Villa to its operations,
I think it's important that a museum which exhibits pre-modern art doesn't lose its link to contemporary art. The Getty has been collecting Greek and Roman art, but I hope to bring a network of other links throughout the world.
It's a miracle to be able to bring together a great museum building, a great collection, great landscape, and then great educational, cultural facilities, and bring it all together, and open it up to the public free of charge.
The Getty is a contemporary museum of ancient art, in some ways.
