The Getty on Pinterest

What it is

This is the official Pinterest profile of the Getty, the Los Angeles museum and arts institution. When we checked, it had close to a million followers, 98 boards and more than 5,000 pins.

The boards are organized by theme rather than by gallery, and many pins come from other collections, so think of them as themed picture essays rather than a catalog of the Getty's holdings. "Portraits" holds over 1,300 faces from across the centuries. "Fashionable Threads" gathers dress and fabric, from 16th-century lace to a 1949 Dior gown and Sargent portraits. "Art in Full Bloom" is all flowers, "Diamonds Are Forever" is jewelry, and "Be Still" collects still lifes. There's a board devoted to medieval manuscripts and another on Gustav Klimt's drawings.

Why we picked it

The boards hang on a theme, not a single museum. "Fashionable Threads" reads like an illustrated history of dress: collars, sleeves, lace and silhouettes across several centuries. "Art in Full Bloom" runs from 17th-century Dutch flower pieces to Raoul Dufy.

The account is active, too: the portraits board was updated in September 2026. Many pins carry the artist and date in the caption, which makes it easy to dig further.

Where to start

• Open "Portraits," the largest and most recently updated board.
• Scroll "Fashionable Threads" if you're into costume history.
• Try "Art in Full Bloom" for botanical motifs.
• Visit "Interact with Manuscripts" for medieval illumination.

Who it's for

Art lovers, painters and illustrators looking for reference material. Anyone curious about the history of fashion and jewelry. Art and history teachers who want strong visuals.
