Ancient Manuscripts On Display At The Getty Center

"Traversing the Globe through Illuminated Manuscripts," is the title of Getty Center's unique exhibition featuring illuminated manuscripts and painted book arts from the 9th through the 17th century. Among the prized treasures on display are Toros Roslin's miniatures from the 13th century. The Diocesan Primate Archbishop Hovnan Derderian attended the opening ceremony of the exhibit on January 26th and was led on a private viewing.

He was accompanied by Mr. Diran Avagyan and Diocesan benefactor Mr. Raymond Hartoonian. The exhibition which runs through June 26th is drawn primarily from the Museum’s collection, augmented with several generous and important loans from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Norton Simon Museum, the Huntington Library, and the Charles E. Young Research Library at UCLA.  His Eminence conveyed his wholehearted gratitude to Elizabeth Morrison, the Museum's Senior Curator of Manuscripts and Bryan Keene, Assistant Curator of Manuscripts for their warm hospitality as well as the informative tour.
