The variation distance closure of an exponential family with a convex set of canonical parameters is described, assuming no regularity conditions. The tools are the concepts of convex core of a measure and extension of an exponential family, introduced previously by the authors, and a new concept of accessible faces of a convex set. Two other closures related to the information divergence are also characterized.
