House Museum is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve historically significant landmarks through the integration of site-specific art installations and community activations. House Museum reimagines the function of vacant and abandoned properties, in order to transform them into culturally rich and productive spaces. Each installation, interior or otherwise, becomes an access point that connects the public to a constellation of city-wide exhibits. All donations are tax-deductible and contribute to raising awareness of historical landmarks and support their revitalization and programming.

WE GOT THE GRANT! Thank you Masonry Foundation! 🙌

We’ve raised $42,500 of our $50,000 conservation goal thanks to our generous supporters: The Masonry Foundation, Pacific Clay, Kappe Architects, Palisades Recovery Coalition, Daniel & Marina Case, Michelle Bitting & Philip Abrams, and private donors.

The conservation phase includes (1) stabilization of six chimneys of historical significance salvaged from the 2025 Palisades Fire, following a custom plan developed by Getty Conservation Institute; and (2) an internship program for local students to learn masonry conservation practices through hands-on engagement.

Evacuation of the Getty Center at 4:37pm today.

The ongoing threat of fires is a reality of living in Los Angeles, and the evacuation experience is one that unites those of us who have been through the process.

Godspeed to the firefighters and first responders.
