Images from the Getty Villa Museum

I had the opportunity to visit the musuem at the Getty Villa in Malibu, CA on Easter Sunday 2010. I was very happy that I was allowed to photograph some of the objects from Greece and Rome that are on display.

As I looked at the objects, many of which were crafted thousands of years ago, I began thinking of the person that made them and how they might feel if they knew that the object was on display in a museum.

So, just think, that clay ash tray you made in second grade ... one day it might be on display as an example of the work of an ancient craftsman!
Here's a video of some of the items.
