Getty Center says art is protected from fire

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has tweeted photos showing the campus of The Getty Center unharmed by a wildfire raging nearby and has prompted evacuation orders for 10,000 homes and businesses.

The fire started early this morning near The Getty Center and has moved westward through canyon and ridgeline neighborhoods, burning some homes.

The museum says its artworks are protected by state-of-the-art technology and that the "safest place for the art and library collections is inside."

The Getty Villa, a separate museum on an ocean-view bluff overlooking Santa Monica Bay is also said to be safe.
