I've always loved the Getty. I remember some of my antiquities classes when an Art History undergrad at USC were held there (when it was still just the Villa). 

It was great it had funds, because it could still purchase and create collections of the scarce resources Museum's collect themselves out of being able to buy (too expensive; the paradox of museums - creating scarcity of resources!), like starting up the collection of Old Master Drawings.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] What can any size museum learn from the Getty?
 
Do you think..."the Getty--big, rich and nothing to do with my museum."
Check out the Uncataloged Museum's latest blog post <http://bit.ly/xPR052>for
the lessons I learned at the Getty last week--and how they should apply to
all museums.  And of course, please share your comments on the blog and
don't forget to like the Uncataloged Museum on
Facebook.<https://www.facebook.com/uncatalogedmuseum>

Enjoy!
