PRS Tour!

Whether you're a fan of Los Angeles architecture, rare books, hidden archives, Golden Era Hollywood, or Manly Hall's philosophy, PRS is thrilled to announce visitors can now book tours to see our entire campus.

Experience the wonder (inside and out!) of the Mayan Revival jewel known as The Philosophical Research Society!

Meet us in the central courtyard for a walk-through of the construction timeline that unfurled here in Los Feliz ninety years ago.

Discover rare manuscripts and art from ancient and modern civilizations, personal letters and original photographs, sculptures and paintings. Find out how the collection began and how many tarot decks we have in the archives … Visitors are invited to follow the tour with Amanda Brass and dama.

Tours embark on foot from the courtyard, to the Library, up to the Lecture Room, around the outdoors statues, down to the art gallery, through the bookstore, and ending in the auditorium. Larger groups may contact the library to arrange group tours.

Tickets are free if you're a PRS Member; otherwise we offer tickets for a suggested donation of $15.

((( Some portions of this tour are not ADA accessible, therefore, a video tour is being created for those who wish to experience the storytelling from the comfort of their homes.)))
