Getty, French Consulate in Los Angeles, and Villa Albertine Sign New Multi-Year Cultural Partnership
Getty, the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles, and Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education, have renewed a three-year cooperation agreement to cross-promote French-related exhibitions and programs. Building on their longstanding history of community engagement, the agreement strengthens their shared commitment to highlighting Getty’s French-focused initiatives and expanding opportunities for cultural exchange among the three institutions.
Recent collaborations include the successful promotion of exhibitions such as La Surprise: Watteau in Los Angeles, Camille Claudel, A Persistent Pioneer: Hippolyte Bayard, and Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men. The renewed agreement also encompasses joint promotion of upcoming French-themed exhibitions at the Getty Center, including Odilon Redon and the Polynesian origins of Portrait of Mai by Joshua Reynolds in Summer 2026, and Eugene Atget’s Legacy in Fall 2027.
In addition, Getty will work with the French Consulate and Villa Albertine to facilitate exchanges, resource access, and collaboration with curatorial and conservation experts for visiting scholars, artists, and museum professionals, including participants in the “French Museums Next Gen” cohort in Spring 2028.
Stay tuned for more information about upcoming exhibitions and initiatives supported by this partnership.
