Getty Art Goes High Tech

Visitors to the Getty Center in Los Angeles can check out the new GettyGuide - a handheld multimedia system that looks a bit like an iPod or Blackberry, designed to enhance a gallery-goer's visit. The Getty is one of the first museums in the country to feature the new technology for visitors. The handheld device, which hangs from a strap around a user's neck and requires headphones, is replete with information about the Getty Center's visiting and permanent exhibitions. It can be checked out for free at the information desk. Irish Art
