Current Exhibitions

See how the built world of the Middle Ages and Renaissance—soaring cathedrals, grand palaces, half-timbered houses, even military tents—was represented in painted books. Presenting rarely seen pages from the Museum's collection of manuscripts, the exhibition Building the Medieval World explores how artists used architecture as both decoration and symbol.
Explore this exhibition online with students in grades 5–10 using the lesson "Looking at Illuminated Manuscripts: Exploring an Illuminated Manuscript Page," to have students learn about the elements of an illuminated manuscript page in an era before printing. Prompt students to create a handmade page about a city they are currently studying and to include miniatures depicting the landmarks or architecture from that place.
View the lesson "Looking at Illuminated Manuscripts: Exploring an Illuminated Manuscript Page."
Learn more about the exhibition Building the Medieval World: Architecture in Medieval Manuscripts, on view at the Getty Center through May 16, 2010.
