Los Angeles, California
The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Downtown Los Angeles founded by Eli and Edythe Broad. It houses a prominent collection of postwar and contemporary art in a distinctive "veil-and-vault" building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
Famous works include Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Mirrored Rooms," Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog (Blue)," and extensive works by Basquiat, Warhol, and Lichtenstein. The honeycomb-like architecture is a highlight in itself.
Immerse yourself in the Infinity Mirrored Room (requires separate reservation). View the vast collection of pop art and contemporary masterpieces. Take a self-guided audio tour via their mobile app.
Weekdays or early mornings are best. Tickets are released monthly and go quickly. The museum is closed on Mondays.
General admission is free, but advance timed tickets are highly recommended. A standby line is available but can be long. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible.
Restrooms are available. While there is no full restaurant inside, it is adjacent to Otium restaurant and near many dining options. A museum shop is located on the ground floor.
Book the "Infinity Mirrored Room" tickets immediately upon arrival or in advance if available—slots fill up fast. Use the "veil" escalator for a cool ride up to the third-floor galleries.
