The J. Paul Getty Museum's priceless collection of artwork, which includes paintings by Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Monet and Degas, once again found itself in the path of destruction as the Palisades fire spread.

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.”

The evacuation order comes just days after the museum's other campus, the Getty Villa, was in the line of fire.

Even though the Getty Center is now under the mandatory evacuation zone as a result of the Palisades wildfire, the center says there’s no other place where its priceless art collection could be safer.

The Getty Villa says its collections are safe so far from the Palisades Fire. Here’s how the museum is protecting itself. The fast-moving wildfire has so far burned vegetation at the Pacific Palisades museum but not the building.

The sweeping fires in California have killed 24 people, ravaged communities, and sent thousands frantically fleeing their properties.
