CAPTION;The Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles

Korea, where dynastic rule spanned nearly 2,000 years, is the home of one of Asia’s most important cultures. Today, Koreans in Los Angeles are a major part of this city’s multicultural social fabric. One of the best ways to learn about Korean culture is to visit the Korean Cultural Center.

Whether you come on your own or with a group, we can assure you that you will find the Center’s programming to be a most educational and engrossing experience. You will leave with a better grasp of Korea, its history and culture, and you will have a good time!

 

Our Mission

Operated by the Korean Government’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, our facility on Wilshire Blvd. has a museum with a collection of replicas of Korea’s most important artifacts, a gallery for fine art exhibition and a library with materials about Korea (in English and Korean), including a film and video section.

The Center holds special events where the public can view professional Korean artists in person. The Center also runs a series of free classes and workshops on various forms of Korean cultural expressions: music, dance, folk art and language. Most of these classes are free, but some have small fees for materials.

Please feel free to contact us if you have questions, comments or suggestions.
