That is a different entity than Getty Images.

The "Getty" name derived from the same person, but the museum and Getty Images have nothing do with each other.

To be more precise, Mark Getty of Getty Images is J. Paul Getty's grandson.

Some of the initial investments in Getty Images came from other members of the Getty family (who had inherited probably quite a lot of money from J. Paul) but that seems to be the extent of the relationship.
