When a museum acquires a new work of art, what happens before it's ready to be placed in the gallery? Get a behind-the-scenes look as J.M.W. Turner's "Modern Rome-Campo Vaccino" comes to the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center. We show the process of uncrating, inspecting, photographing, and eventually hanging in the gallery space.
