Italy on the Grand Tour If you happened to be a European aristocrat during the 18th century, it's likely you would have toured Europe to complete your education. Lasting anywhere from a few months to eight years, this "Grand Tour" enlightened young men about the politics, culture, and art of neighboring countries. Three new Getty exhibitions allow you to virtually experience your own tour of Italy, with stops in exotic Venice, classical Rome, and mythical Naples. The art and antiquities exhibits add to the mystery of this cultural phenomenon known as the Grand Tour. (in Museums and Exhibits)
