DRAGON! Today, textile conservator Yadin Larochette visited us at the Scripps Gallery. =) She examined a couple pieces of our textile collection, many which had DRAGONS on them.

This Monday (July 13th), we Getty interns made a trip out to the LA Getty Center for the Getty Foundation’s M(ulticultural)U(ndergraduate)I(nternship) Arts Summit. Dang, that sounds fancy.
