The Palisades Fire is burning dangerously close to the Getty Villa Museum Tuesday as it continues to grow, forcing roughly 30,000 people to evacuate more than 10,000 homes . The fire, which has spread to vegetation surround the building, has not threatened the the Getty Villa structure itself, according to J. Paul Getty Trust President Katherine Fleming. "Museum galleries and library archives were sealed off from smoke by state-of-the-art air handling systems," Fleming told CBS New Los Angeles.

The Getty Villa Museum in Los Angeles impacted by wildfires. As wildfires in Southern California continue to devastate the region, at least 30,000 residents are under evacuation orders. The grounds of the Getty Villa museum, which are located in the Pacific Palisades, were damaged by the fire, but so far, the collection's art has remained safe. The Getty Vila is home to more than 44,000 objects dedicated to ancient art including ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. Established in 1954
