The Getty Villa is expected to reopen Friday on a limited schedule and with a new exhibit after closing in January due to the Palisades Fire.
The Villa’s limited hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays through Mondays, which is intended to also reduce the amount of weekday traffic on Pacific Coast Highway.
To mark the reopening, the Villa will showcase its newest exhibition, “The Kingdom of Pylos: Warrior-Princes of Ancient Greece,” on view through Jan. 12. The previous exhibition of “Ancient Thrace and the Classical World: Treasures from Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece” was forced to close during the fire. It will reopen as a virtual tour.
Additionally, the Villa will create programming focused on “The Kingdom of Pylos.” Its next outdoor theater production, “Oedipus the King, Mama!” will open in September.
The Villa’s building sustained no major damage, but officials reported the site was covered in soot and ash, which required a thorough cleanup operation.
“While work to rebuild the local community continues, I hope the Villa provides some respite and a place for people to reconnect with art and with each other,” Katherine E. Fleming, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, said in a statement.
