It has galleries, but it is more than a museum. It has a resource center, but it is more than a library. It has a state-of-the-art auditorium, but it is much much more than a performing arts center.

Just as the American immigrant experience is different for each group and individual arriving on these shores, the Skirball Cultural Center provides an unrivaled rainbow of programs and opportunities to enrich each visitor.
