I'd like to know (about) your culture.

Hi,

Is "about" necessary?

thanks.

Yes, there is a difference between "know" and "know about", the latter meaning "something about" and the former indicating more thorough knowledge. If you "know" English you understand virtually all of it, but if you just know about it, you do not know very much, just some facts and rules.
