As several fires continue to tear through Los Angeles, two museums have burned to the ground. Many other institutions in the city remained closed as of Wednesday night, citing a desire to ensure the safety of their respective staffs.

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.

The Getty Villa, Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles Zoo and more are shutting their doors while wildfires swarm Southern California.
