The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is inviting visitors to explore the intersection of science, art, and mysticism in the Middle Ages with two captivating exhibitions, Lumen: The Art and Science of Light and Rising Signs: The Medieval Science of Astrology. These exhibitions are part of the larger PST ART initiative, a regional collaboration that showcases the dialogue between art and science across more than 70 cultural institutions in Southern California. Lumen: The Art and Science of Light - A Journey Through Medieval Brilliance The J. Paul Getty Museum's new exhibition, Lumen: The Art and Science of Light, shines a spotlight on the medieval era’s artistic and scientific fascination with light. Showcasing over 100 works, this collection features gilded manuscripts, celestial maps, and scientific instruments, illustrating how the era's understanding of light informed both religious and cultural practices. Curators Kristen Collins and Nancy Turner crafted this exhibition as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, an ambitious Southern California initiative that unites over 70 institutions around themes blending artistic expression with scientific inquiry.
