Introduction
The Skirball Cultural Center is a Los Angeles museum and cultural institution focused on Jewish heritage and the broader American story of immigration and diversity, set on a hillside between Brentwood and Bel-Air. Its signature Noah’s Ark installation turns the biblical tale into climbable, touchable large-scale wooden animals that families love. The permanent galleries Inventing America and Visions and Values tell stories of immigration, identity and civic life. A garden, family art studio, archaeology dig and discovery centre extend the experience outdoors and hands-on. Year-round the centre runs talks, film and festivals; admission covers the permanent and current shows, with Thursdays free for everyone and free entry for members and children under 2.
