The J. Paul Getty Trust is one of the world's largest cultural and philanthropic institutions, founded in 1953. Based in Los Angeles and Pacific Palisades, it operates globally with a mission dedicated to the visual arts. Its work spans museums, research, conservation, and grant-making.
Millions of visitors engage with the Trust's programs and collections annually. The institution is driven by its founder's vision of making art accessible to all and views art as a civilizing influence in society. A commitment to open access underpins its approach to sharing knowledge and resources.
The Trust's activities encompass several key verticals within the art world: museum operations, cultural heritage preservation, conservation science, scholarly research, and philanthropy. Its broad operational scope supports a wide range of technical and administrative functions to advance its mission across these domains.
