Skirball Cultural Center
The Skirball Cultural Center is a place of meeting guided by the Jewish tradition of welcoming the stranger and inspired by the American democratic ideals of freedom and equality. The Cultural Center is home to exhibitions that celebrate discovery and hope, foster human connections, and call upon us to build a more just society.

“I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli

Family-friendly activities are held nearly every day, including family art studio, archaeology digs, sing-alongs, story times, and sensory-friendly Fridays. Visit their website for a comprehensive list of their family events.
