The J. Paul Getty Center, Beverly Hills, CA, is currently hosting four new and separate exhibitions, that include photography, sculpture, paintings and stained glass. These exhibits are now on display in different pavilions of the Getty Center.

One exhibition contains photographs by 19th-century, British photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron.

Beginning at the age of 48, she began her photography career, which lasted ten years, and crossed gender borders, as she strived to bring both truth and poetic metaphors to the world, through her photography. The photographs are on display through January 11, 2004.

Also being featured is an Exhibition of Jean-Antoine Houdon's sculptures, "Sculptor Of The Enlightenment". This is a showing of his bust sculptures, which capture the essence of the revolutionary Enlightment Period. The sculptures are on display through January 25, 2004.
