"It also came at a moment when Getty was embracing sustainability as an institutional priority. Once we realised that the appetite was there to address these issues as a larger community, we set about providing some of the infrastructure to make it happen.
There's a lot going on here. Through this weekend, there is a Behind-the-Screams Tour, where guests will face skeletons, parasites, bloodsuckers, and more from the collection. The newly renovated Wilson Family Nature Lab is opened in mid-October with lots of hands-on learning.
