Early Getaway?

Pardon our cynicism, you trusting cretins, but a "threat" on the Fri. before a three-day wknd. makes us suspicious.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was closed Friday while police investigate a threat to the Wilshire Boulevard campus, officials said.

"A threat has been called into LACMA and LAPD is on campus and investigating," the museum tweeted at 11:45 p.m. "In the [sic] abundance of caution we have decided to close the museum for the day."

Los Angeles police could not be reached for comment.

The museum is at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in the Miracle Mile district.

Or perhaps the War On Culture is at last becoming a hot, shooting war.
