US EditionGetty Villa Museum to Reopen in June Following Closure Due to Palisades Fire
- After being closed for almost half a year due to the Palisades Fire, the Getty Villa Museum in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, is scheduled to welcome visitors again starting Friday, June 27.
- The closure began on January 7 because the Palisades Fire threatened the site, forcing evacuation despite no significant damage to the Villa itself.
- Seventeen Getty staff members stayed at the museum to safeguard the site by sealing galleries and putting out minor fires, while firefighters employed precise water drops to preserve the Villa.
- Since January, Getty’s operations staff have carried out a thorough cleanup that involved clearing more than 1,300 trees damaged by fire, changing all the air and water filtration systems, and performing intensive cleaning of both indoor and outdoor areas to prepare for reopening.
- The reopening will include a prominent exhibition focusing on the Mycenaean civilization, featuring more than 230 artifacts from Pylos, and will be open to visitors until January 12, 2026.
