The Getty’s latest exhibit, “Bauhaus Beginnings”, features prints, drawings, photographs, books, letters and ephemera that celebrate the founding of the influential German school of art and design 100 years ago in 1919. In conjunction with the display, A Colorful Afternoon: Cornelia Funke’s Adventures Through the Bauhaus will include a reception, kid’s craft project, tour and storytelling by Funke, whose original Getty story follows William Dampier, a pirate and ghost who protects the museum from being haunted. Funke is a German-born children’s fantasy and adventure novelist best known for her Inkheart trilogy, which was adapted into a 2008 film starring Brendan Fraser and Helen Mirren.
