About us

Art lovers, history buffs, urban design types & others: the Skid Row History Museum & Archive is a new exhibition/performance/community space in downtown LA making work that addresses issues surrounding gentrification and displacement — locally, nationally and globally. It also serves as a literal and artistic common ground, a welcoming space for Angelenos to meet and mingle and explore civic issues together. The Skid Row Museum is a project of the Los Angeles Poverty Department.
