1) If you could design an exhibition and a wizard gave you infinity dollars and the ability to teleport artworks, what would you put on? 2) On a directly orthogonal note, a lot of discussion these days has questioned the value of blockbuster after blockbuster. While I agree that exhibitions can and do often have real scholarly value(Florence at The Dawn of the Renaissance being an excellent example), there is a risk of damage to artworks or the exhibitions being at the expense of attending to the permanent collection and studying/displaying it. How do you balance these responsibilities? Are there good ways to filter out sensible and less sensible uses of art? 3) What's your favorite thing in the Getty collection :).

On that note, codicologists and students of manuscripts everywhere love it when manuscripts are digitized. So thank you for supporting this sort of thing.
