These landmarks are closed due to the L.A. wildfires (UPDATED)

Fueled by a remarkably destructive windstorm, more than 35,000 acres of Los Angeles County have so far been burned by multiple fires, most notably the catastrophic Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire (as in Eaton Canyon) in Pasadena and Altadena.

Thousands of Angelenos within the vicinity of those fires have been ordered to evacuate, so it’s no surprise that any and all museums, restaurants and parks within those areas are closed today—and for the near future. But as officials continue to advise Angelenos to avoid the roads near the fires, if possible, and all of us content with dangerous air quality, we’ve seen plenty of other notable spots opt to close their doors today too. Here’s a running list of major L.A. landmarks that are closed today due to the fires—plus which previously-closed places have been able to reopen.

Getty Villa + Getty Center

Though the perimeter of the Palisades Fire has surrounded the Getty Villa, the museum says that it remains safe and intact as of the evening of January 9; though trees and vegetation on the property have burned, the building and collections have been unaffected (you can read more here about how the museum is keeping them safe). Both the Getty Villa and the Getty Center in Brentwood will be closed through Thursday, January 16.

Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine

Though the Palisades Fire surrounded the meditation gardens, thankfully as of Thursday evening all of the legacy structures were in tact, and the temple and retreat buildings are undamaged. However, some accommodations for the resident monks as well as a small visitor restroom and a storage shed were destroyed. The shrine will be closed until further notice.

Will Rogers State Park + Topanga State Park

The historic ranch house and stables at Will Rogers State Historic Park as well as the bungalow-style Topanga Ranch Motel at Topanga State Park were both destroyed by the Palisades Fire. Both parks remain closed.

Descanso Gardens

The La Cañada Flintridge botanical garden is “closed until further notice” as it’s currently in an evacuation zone.

Norton Simon Museum

The famed Pasadena art museum will be closed until Thursday, January 16. The museum says that tickets purchased for January 9 through 13 are redeemable for the next 30 days; ticket holders with questions can contact tickets@nortonsimon.org.

Skirball Cultural Center

The Sepulveda Pass museum is closed today “for the safety and security of [its] visitors and employees.” You can call (310) 440-4500 or email info@skirball.org to reschedule or refund your tickets. The museum plans on reopening on Wednesday, January 15.

Griffith Park

Griffith Observatory will be closed all day Friday; the L.A. Zoo and Autry Museum are closed until further notice, while Travel Town says it’ll be closed until Sunday, January 12. Trails to the Hollywood Sign are closed, as well—and, in fact, the entire park is closed until Sunday.

Runyon Canyon

Like Griffith, Runyon’s popular hiking trail is closed until Sunday—particularly after Wednesday night’s Sunset Fire, which burned nearly 43 acres along the western edge of the hillside.

The Huntington Library

The San Marino museum and botanical garden has announced that it hopes to reopen on Wednesday, January 15.

The popular DTLA art museum closed on Wednesday out of an abundance of caution and has extended that through Sunday, as well; tickets for this week will be honored through March 23.

Academy Museum

The Academy Museum will be closed again on Friday.

LACMA

And its neighbor, LACMA, will also be closed on Friday, too, for the safety of staff and visitors. But it’s announced its plans to reopen this weekend and offer free admission and complimentary parking (at the Pritzker Parking Garage) on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm. 

Natural History Museum + La Brea Tar Pits

Both the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park and the La Brea Tar Pits, which the institution also oversees, will be closed today “out of an abundance of caution.”

Hammer Museum

The Westwood museum announced it’ll remain closed and reopen on Tuesday, January 14.

The DTLA art museum has again closed its Grand Avenue building as well as its Little Tokyo location on Friday. MOCA Grand Avenue is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, January 14 and the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA will reopen on Thursday, January 16.

Bob Baker Marionette Theater

The Highland Park puppet theater paused its productions through January 12.

The touring production of Wicked that’s currently at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre canceled Friday’s performance; the musical is expected to resume on Saturday.

What’s reopened?

Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk

Though outside of any burn areas or evacuation zones, the theme park and its attached shopping center had been closed due to the wind and fire conditions. However, it reopened on Friday.
