Skirball Cultural Center Welcome! Jewish history and culture meet American democratic ideals at the Skirball Cultural Center. Come visit soon!
(1797)

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. We welcome people of all communities and generations to participate in cultural experiences that celebrate discovery and hope, foster human connections, and call upon us to help build a more just society. Open to the public since 1996, the Skirball has established itself as one of the world's most dynamic Jewish cultural institutions and among the leading cultural venues in Los Angeles.

By the late 1960s, American youth were in open rebellion—against authority, against the older generation’s way of life, against the idea that you had to accept the world as it was handed to you. Comics and counterculture slowly started to merge. Songs referenced comic characters, musicians starred in comics stories, and cartoonists created concert posters and album covers.

All of that and more now on view at the Skirball Cultural Center.
