The J. Paul Getty Museum was established as a charitable trust in 1953 by oil tycoon J. Paul Getty in order to house his growing art collections, with the original Museum opening in 1954 at his Malibu Ranch House. Upon Getty's death in 1976, he bequeathed almost his entire estate to the Museum with a mission to promote "the diffusion of artistic and general knowledge."
