This Saturday, find yourself transported to 19th century Paris at the Getty Family Festival! Inspired by the museum’s current exhibition Manet and Modern Beauty, this festival has a bounty of French delights to explore and enjoy. Immerse yourself in the pleasures of French song with the Jessica Fichot Quartetas they take you on a journey through the streets of Paris with classic and original pieces. Watch the French danseurs as they waltz and can-can to the music of Belle Affaire, or join in and learn a few moves! Explore the workshops and create your own bonnet, or a bold boater, design your own floral frame, or pen a letter to a loved one, all inspired by Manet's works of art. And don’t forget to dress up in period costume and have your picture taken to capture the memories at this day of beauty and delight!
 
The Getty Family Festival is proudly produced by Community Arts Resources for the J. Paul Getty Museum, and offers a unique celebration of the museum's current exhibitions.
