Everyone’s a Blogger: The Getty Launches Exhibition Blog

Quite a few museums are already in the blogosphere (such as those listed in my blogroll in the righthand column), but the J. Paul Getty Museum is trying a new twist: exhibition blogs tied specifically to its temporary shows. First up: Looking at Animals, billed as “a discussion about animals in art and the imagination.” It’s pegged to the current Oudry’s Painted Menagerie of giant rhinoceros fame.
For some reason, they are not also tying it to another animal-related show now up, Medieval Beasts.
The “bloggers” are experts (including Getty staffers) selected by the museum to post their thoughts. Readers can append their own animalistic comments.
