Guided by Jonas Salk’s vision for an environment that would serve as a “crucible for creativity,” the Salk Institute offers a vibrant arts and science calendar with events tailored for general audiences and the research community, as well as daily guided architectural tours.
Please note all architecture tours and all on-site events are currently canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis. The Institute will resume in-person events once it is safe to do so.
