A video of the grounds of a private estate in flames during the Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles has been miscaptioned as showing the nearby Getty Villa in social media posts, some of which also baselessly link the art institution to child trafficking and satanism.

The Getty Villa museum in Pacific Palisades has a "state-of-the-art" air handling system to seal off its galleries and archives from wildfire smoke.

The Getty Villa remained standing as fires razed homes around it. Getty staff have been doing simple yard work all year that homeowners should follow.

The Getty Villa activated its emergency operations center at 10:40 a.m. Tuesday, and within two hours, the fast-moving blaze had reached the grounds. Here's how the staff, museum and precious art were kept safe.

The museum, part of the J. Paul Getty Trust, is home to the organization's collection of Ancient Greek and Roman art. Other cultural centers in the area were also threatened by the fire, which had burned more than 2,900 acres as of Wednesday morning and was moving quickly.

The Getty Villa, located in the Pacific Palisades, will remain closed until further notice. While the grounds were damaged by the fire, the collection's art has remained safe.

The iconic Eames House, Getty Villa, and other Los Angeles landmarks are still at risk of destruction amid raging wildfires across Southern California. But what are the other buildings impacted by palisades fires?

Established in 1954 by oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, the museum opened in 1974 as a replica of the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum (located in what is now southern Italy). The Getty Vila is home to more than 44,000 objects dedicated to ancient art, per the Los Angeles Times, including Roman, Greek, and Etruscan antiquities.

The museum, which describes itself as the “safest places for art during a fire,” is now in a mandatory evacuation zone. Officials said the galleries “are safe and protected.”
