LOS ANGELES—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.
As fire officials issued evacuation orders for the Brentwood neighborhood on Friday night, the museum’s collection remained safely inside the Getty Center’s fortress of travertine stone, fire-protected steel and reinforced concrete.
