Cheers to twenty-three years! On this day in 1996, the Skirball celebrated its public opening. As our founder, Uri D. Herscher, recalls, “Some of us still remember when this campus was a vacant lot, populated only by weeds and trash (and a few rattlesnakes!). To see it now, graced by magnificent buildings and gardens and inhabited by hundreds of dedicated staff who welcome hundreds of thousands of grateful visitors—to see all this is to rejoice at what has been achieved. Even more, it is to be filled with hope in the promise of still greater achievements to come. The Skirball has been built to last. On our 23rd anniversary, our journey is only beginning.” Swipe ⬅️ to see what the “vacant lot” looked like before the Skirball was built!
