Italian American Museum of Los Angeles

Museum

Opened in 2016 inside the 1908 Italian Hall, among the oldest surviving buildings of LA's vanished Little Italy and once the community's cultural centre. It tells the story of Italians in Southern California; the current exhibition 'Mangia!' follows the evolution of Italian food in the US.
