The grounds of the Getty Villa caught fire on Tuesday as a blaze continued tearing through the Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades. The museum and its staff were not harmed, according to a statement issued today by the Getty,

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.

Iconic landmarks such as the Hollywood Sign were engulfed in smoke from the LA wildfires. See before and after photos of famous tourist hotspots.
