Frommer's Review
This strikingly modern museum/cultural center is quick to remind us that Jewish history is about more than the Holocaust. Nestled in the Sepulveda Pass uphill from the Getty Center, the Skirball explores American Jewish life, American democratic values, and the pursuit of the American Dream -- a theme shared by many immigrant groups. The Skirball's core exhibit, "Visions and Values: Jewish Life from Antiquity to America," chronicles the experiences and accomplishments of the Jewish people over 4,000 years. Related events are held here throughout the year; one recent highlight was a rollicking festival of klezmer music (a traditional Jewish folk-music style). Call for free docent-led tour times.
