GettyGuide®

Let our free app be your personal guide to the Getty museums

Museum visitors share earphones to listen to an audio tour on a phone while looking at artwork

The GettyGuide app invites visitors to learn more about the art on display in Getty Museum galleries.

Download Before Your Visit

The GettyGuide app is available in the App Store and Google Play.

We encourage you to download the app before you arrive at the Getty Center or Getty Villa Museum as cell service can be spotty and on-site Wi-Fi strength varies at each location.

Bring Your Own Earphones

Please remember to bring your own earphones or headphones. If you forget, earphones will be for sale at the Museum Store. You may also listen through the ear speaker for when you're without your earphones.

Features
