In honor of completing our study of the Holocaust, and Tanner needing to experience something cultural for a school assignment, we headed out to the Skirball Center in LA. We took the older kids to the Museum of Tolerance earlier this year, but it wasn't a place I wanted to take the younger kids. I still wanted them to have an experience that went along with all the stories we read about the Holocaust. We focused on looking for the Heroes who stood up to the Nazis to protect their Jewish friends. There were so many awe inspiring stories we found of everyday Heroes who risked their lives to help others. I tried to take a positive look at this difficult time in history for my little ones. I had heard of the Skirball Center, but this was our first visit. It is a Jewish Cultural Center. It was really neat! The kids had a great time! It is very kid friendly. We will certainly need to visit this place again when we study ancient history...
They have an awesome Noah's Ark Hands-On Exhibit. So cute and creative!
Cute Puppet Theater under the rainbow at the end of Noah's ark...
A replica of the inside of a Synagogue...
A fun tribute to the many Jewish immigrants to America...
There was a Roy Lichenstein Art exhibit. We liked the part where you could put yourself in the artwork!
There was also an archeology exhibit on the roof of the center! So fun!
It was a beautiful place with these beautiful people!
