The artwork housed in the Getty Museum has been deemed safe and will not be relocated despite the fires that are blazing through Los Angeles, according to CNN.

According to the museum’s Twitter account, “the safest place for the art and library collection is inside.”

There are over 600 firefighters protecting the museum from what is being called the Getty Fire.

The stone, concrete and steel building has state-of-the-art technology that will protect it from the destructive flames said the spokeswoman for the museum, Lisa Lapin.

“The Getty was designed by architect Richard Meier with disaster situations like these wildfires and earthquakes in mind,” Lapin said. “The galleries on the museum’s campus are double-enclosed, meaning buildings inside buildings with thick walls.”

According to Lapin, the museum has a sophisticated air filtration system that redirects air pushing it out to repel ash and smoke out of the galleries. 

The museum is home to over 125,000 separate pieces.

According to ABC7, a nail salon in Chicago said they will not offer this service because of the risk of infection it poses to their customers.

T Nail Bar in Rogers Park said, “no matter how much profit they would gain from offering the service its nothing they would risk doing.”

Oscar Juraz, a microbiologist at the Illinois Institute of Technology, said the “bacteria can survive in this powder for weeks and can lead to serious infections.”

Juraz recommends bringing your own jar, or having the technician shake the powder on your nails as opposed to dipping them in the jar.
