Here’s one for the
booklovers.
This image crossed my ‘desk’ via my Facebook page, and not
only did I have to check out the free books for myself, but I also had to share
the good news here.
The J. Paul Getty Museum, commonly referred to as the Getty,
is an art museum in Los Angeles, California, housed on two campuses: the Getty
Center, in Brentwood, and Getty Villa in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Like all major museums, the Getty produces exhibition
catalogues and art books focussing on specific areas of their massive
collection. The museum also publishes on a regular basis the J. Paul Getty
Museum Journal. The free publications available through the museum site
includes all three publication types as well as symposium papers and other
material.
All of the books are available as PDF downloads only, which
means the content of each has a fixed format. The downside of this is that the
text can not be enlarged or reduced in size to assist reading, but hopefully
this is a small price to pay for having access to an amazing range of wonderful
publications. You can also read the books online, although this is probably not
the best way to read them. However, you might do as I did, and check out titles
of interest online first, and then download those books that interest you the
most.
If you are interest in art, check out the free collection at
the Getty Museum site…
