Hop on the tram with Milli Ennium, Quincy, and their cohorts as they set out to explore the Getty Center. This children's book--from the creators of the popular Mr. Lunch character--takes a delightful tour through the Getty Museum, adjancent gardens, conservation laboratories and other sites at the Getty Center. Featuring the wonderful illustrations of J.otto Seibold and the beloved characters created by Seibold and coauthor Vivian Walsh, Going to the Getty is a colorful, humorous visit to the new center and sure to be enjoyed by children as well as the adult fans of Seibold and Walsh.

It gives a very brief overview of the different parts of the Getty, such as the Research Institute and the conservation area, as well as going over the different collections, such as sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, paintings, drawings, etc. It ends, as most tours of the museum do, in the central garden.
You'll notice Seibold/Walsh creation Mr. Lunch and the evil elephant in some scenes, as well as the inclusion of some of the Getty's more famous acquisitions.
I think it probably serves it's purpose well, in giving a very general overview of the museum. However, it skips around somewhat non-linearly and jumps from topic to topic without much transition - it doesn't read smoothly is what I'm trying to say. Also very very far from in depth, ha. But still worthwhile. ( )
