The Getty Villa reopened Friday for the first time since January’s devastating Palisades fire. And after nearly six months without visitors, the museum is set to debut a new exhibit. The Villa had been closed since Jan.

Five and a half months after it shut its doors in the midst of the Palisades Fire, the Getty Villa —one of the city’s cultural crown jewels—has finally reopened. Thanks to the efforts of both security and facilities staff and firefighters, the museum is still intact —a beacon of hope amid the surrounding landscape.

The Getty Villa has reopened almost six months after the Palisades Fire damaged trees and vegetation on its property.
