The Robert Adams exhibit at the Getty Center in 2006, entitled "Landscapes of Harmony and Dissonance" was accompanied by a website that contains text, photos that can be enlarged, and links to audio and one video file. The setup feels just a bit awkward - maybe separate pages for each section would have been better, but the linked files are all there even if my Internet Explorer really didn't like the RealPlayer audio files. Never mind, Chrome played them without whining.
The site follows Adams' theme of "joy" and "dismay" in the contrasts between beauty and ugliness, loneliness and community.
The Getty began accompanying their exhibitions with an online component in 2000, pretty much keeping to the same format. So kudos to them for keeping content online for up to nine years.
Incidently, I added a Google Blog search gadget to the sidebar. I'm not sure that it searches the blog very well (the search box at the top left does that better), but it does find some very good sources under the "Linked from here" and "Art galleries, etc." tabs.
