​The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit cultural organization that promotes research into mythology, the humanities and metaphysics, and maintains a collection of over 30,000 rare volumes housed in a stunning two-story library. Its historic 1930s-era Mayan Revival buildings in the heart of the Los Feliz neighborhood are among L.A.'s most recognizable architectural landmarks, with ample on-site parking available. Over the years PRS has hosted thousands of lectures, concerts and events with artists, authors and thinkers including poet Charles Bukowski, architect Richard Neutra, author Marianne Williamson, writer Alan Watts, PRS founder Manly P. Hall and many others. Its lecture room, library and auditorium are decorated with beautiful antiquarian art and sculptures from around the world.

The PRS facility is available for rental for private events, lectures, meetings, concerts and screenings, depending on our calendar of events. Please contact Kelly Carmena at:  events@prs.org.
