Calle Principal: Mi México en Los Ángeles
This interactive and educational permanent exhibition invites families to explore the sights, sounds and smells of downtown Los Angeles during the 1920s. Calle Principal is an immersive recreation of Main Street, the one-time heart of Los Angeles’s Mexican, Mexican-American, and immigrant communities—and the street where LA Plaza sits on today.
