Demons, Angels, and Monsters: The Supernatural in ArtPart of the Getty Center’s Audio Tour Program
 
Before kids grab a bag of Halloween loot, they can grab an iPod Touch® and explore the art of fright with a new audio tour at the Getty Center. Demons, Angels, and Monsters: The Supernatural in Art features otherworldly figures depicted in works of art from the Getty Museum’s permanent collection. For a limited time (through February 5, 2012) all audio tours at the Getty Center are free, providing a Halloween treat for the whole family.
 
Created by kids for kids, the audio tour features imaginative children sharing their impressions of troublemaking demons, flying superhero angels, and a charming dragon. Whether angelic or sinister, the art reveals how past cultures have viewed the supernatural, and how belief in such creatures influenced everyday life.

 
The tour includes paintings, sculpture, and stained glass by such artists as Gauguin, Tiepolo, and Bernini.
 
Demons, Angels, and Monsters: The Supernatural in Art is suitable for children, tweens, or anyone with a sense of fun. All Getty Center audio tours are free through February 5, 2012.
 
The Getty Center is located at 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049. For more information, call (310) 440-7300 or visit www.getty.edu.
