The Getty Museum is apologizing after their highly-anticipated kickoff for a new arts event was a little too explosive to the liking of the community on Sunday.

Laurie Perez reports from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where a loud and explosive kickoff to an art exhibit rattled the neighborhood, frightening some people in the community and even those in attendance at the event.

Acknowledging the startled responses and backlash, the Getty issued a public statement indicating its awareness of and regret for its role in disturbing locals with the fireworks, but noted that “the Coliseum followed its normal process for events held at the stadium and notified municipal partners.”
