Getty Center, Villa Remain “Safe And Stable” As Some Evacuation Levels Downgraded
The renowned Getty Center and Getty Villa remain 'safe and stable,' as the surrounding evacuation orders have been downgraded to warnings.
This news comes after the latest update yesterday, where officials with the J. Paul Getty Trust said the Center near Brentwood and Villa in the Pacific Palisades both remained intact amid the wildfires. When the Palisades blaze began Jan. 7, the Villa — the famed recreation of a sprawling ancient Roman estate built in 1974 — was significantly threatened, with shots from the area showing flames licking up the mountainside of the museum gallery. Meanwhile, the Center — a modern multi-structure art museum perched atop the hills near UCLA and that has housed paintings by Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Manet since 1997 — was threatened later on Jan. 10, as the wildfire made a significant push eastward, getting over the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains and threatening the San Fernando Valley.
