Art museum showcasing the Broad family collection. You have to make ticket reservations online in advance; note that the general admission ticket is separate from the infinity room tickets, so you need to make sure you select both things when reserving tickets. The infinity room tickets go fast, so you need to make them at least a month in advance. There’s a parking lot but it’s $17 for three hours; you can try your luck at city lot instead for $9/$10. Tickets are free but they do have special exhibitions which are paid-admission. Masks were encouraged but not required when we went. No food or beverages allowed. Backpacks need to be worn in front of your body. Some of the art was not kid-friendly, and there are warning signs indicating such. There are restrooms on the second level. You take the escalator up to the third floor and work your way around. You can get a peek at storage while taking the stairs down to the second/first level. Overall, it’s a really fun way to spend a couple of hours to a full day looking at an eclectic mix of art.

Parking is easy and $17 all day on the weekends. You will need to request your tickets online. Masks are required and vaccinations cards are also checked. The museum architecture is really cool. If you do not like art don’t waste your time going here. The restrooms are nice and clean. Would not recommend taking young children here.

We booked tickets the morning of. They are free reservation tickets but I recommend getting them in advance because I believe they do "sell out". Firstly, the architecture of this building is incredible. The building itself is a work of art and was mind blowing just walking through the entrance. The art pieces are fascinating as well and so entertaining to look at and gain some inspiration from. It was not too crowded and was pretty easy to check everything out quickly. The exhibit is not huge and can most likely be looked through in about an hour. I highly recommend checking out The Broad as it is in a great spot of DTLA and has some iconic pieces.

Aaron Bright

This museum is awesome. It is easy to find parking and they have great signage. The outside of the building as a textured veil and inside has rounded edges that look organic. The staff was friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that the gift shop prices are double other museums in the area. But it is hard to complain about a free museum. We went in a weekend and it was busy but everything moved smoothly.

The museum has some beautiful art and I love that they give a little gift if you find all the items on the app. The employees were really friendly and helpful. I liked that they were really strict of wearing the mask all the time while inside.

This is a fantastic art museum! We went to see the intriguing infinity room, a room made of mirrors with colored LED lights hanging from the ceiling at various heights. The effect leaves you feeling like floating in space with ghost images of yourself floating around in all directions. Time in the room is very limited, only 1 minute per group which is far from enough time to fully absorb the wonder of it all. Following the delight of the infinity room we explored the third floor gallery, home to such greats as Liechtenstein and Warhol. As with most art, some was very appealing, some appalling, and some awesome. One room was adults only due to the graphic nature of the art, mostly depicting people of color. I highly recommend visiting the Broad for the experience available in the Infinity Room.

Free Admission!! Get tickets online. Easy process, just need to choose a time slot. Great place to visit, had a few Andy Warhol. There was one exhibit that showed a film that is not recommended for children.. You do have to pay for parking, I parked like a block away for $10 all day (Sunday) parking.

Victor

Great experience and a ton to see! Entry was completely free! One of the exhibits I wanted to see was unfortunately rotated out. Staff was helpful and nobody rushes you! You take your time and look. My only complaint was for the parking garage as I paid online through the portal. Once I got the the gate it didn’t recognize I already paid and was charged again in total paying $34 for parking. I had no way of contacting anyone for a refund either.Bummer. Don’t pay online if you go, just pay at the gate(they take card).

Betu P

Free entry. Parking is $17 only AFTER you “validate” your parking ticket at the museum, otherwise it’s $27 or so. Also, parking is right next to the museum. I didn’t see any signs for parking structure so got a little lost, but it’s right next to the museum. 2 Floors to check out and a gift shop. If you LOVE art…….. this is your HAPPY place! From exteriors, to the interiors, from exhibits, to the offices……EVERYTHING IS ART over here! A MUST-SEE for all the art lovers out there.

Yennifer

There were many variety of works by artists who are said to be the most famous these days, and there were also friendly staffs. Actually, I’m not good at art but love to study, to see, to do ❤️ so I could really enjoyed the museum. I really appreciate it. * Parking fee was $17 for 3hours.

PAL (girl mama)

We were invited to this museum from the locals! It was a great museum for our family. Our family size was 10 that day and the age range was from 8 years old to 70 years old and in between. Everyone found something they could enjoy in the museum. Each floor had different offerings and exhibits. The kids loved the big table the adults enjoyed each exhibit.

Carlos Tovar

It is an museum. They have cool art. The infinity mirror is the highlight of it. You have to sign up for it, one month before I believe. It's that popular. You can get free tickets but if you want to see the whole museum, you have to buy tickets. I recommend you seeing the whole museum.

Gabriele Lacerda Gadelha

It's a really good place for family. There's a free exposition, what is amazing if you wanna see a Andy Warhol art for free. A little bit busy on weekends, but it doesn't disturb the experience. Also the building itself is a piece of art. In front of they have food, if you feel hungry. There's a Frank Gery building by side of the museum for people that like architecture.

Tim Airhart

Wonderful range of contemporary art, including extensive Andy Warhol collection. Also, fun sculpture pieces that younger people will enjoy. General admission is free, but you must reserve a time. Special exhibits are not free. Was disappointed that the mirrored room was not open. Otherwise, a very worthwhile 2 hours.

Elizabeth Groves

Went for Free Museum day, we had a pretty amazing time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We waited less than 3-5 minutes in line to get in. The exhibits were awesome to experience and see in person. The gift store had a pretty good selection of different books and items. Everything ran smoothly and better than what I had expected considering the number of people who did show up to take advantage of the free ticket day. We parked across the street at the Disney Concert Hall for $9 since The Broad parking lot was full (which was fine by us considering parking was more expensive at the Broad anyways). It was a good time and I recommend this museum to anyone who loves and appreciates good quality art.

Nas Sol

A beautiful collection of modern art. Easy entry once you have your tickets. Pop collection is one of the neatest here. Popular artist such as Andy Warhol is featured here. Definitely worth the visit.

Two Sisters Bookkeeping

The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles offering free general admission and an active program of rotating exhibitions. If you are visiting downtown Los Angeles and you love museums, you have to visit this one. It is Free, you only need to reserve your ticket in advance. I loved the big table. We had a nice time. I am glad we visited this museum.

Stephanie

I visited the murukami display at the Broad Museum. It was very short but I did enjoy it there a small fee to enter that section, however the Broad Museum itself is free, I live in la and it was my first time visiting it is definitely worth the visit. After murukami they do have an American flag museum section which was also neat. The museum has a gift shop which I definitely stopped by. Outside the museum there is plenty of areas to relax and just sit there is also food trucks. I was unable to see all of the areas of the museum the later in the afternoon it gets the larger the crowd. It won’t take over an hour to read and appreciate the art.

Pine Watt

The broad was a stunning example of a modern art museum. I love the curating. A friend and I spent 3 hours viewing works from all the iconic pop artists. I'd highly recommend reserving a free ticket in advance via their website. When we arrived we walked right in past a long line. Still able to show up and get in but you will have to wait in a line.

Charlotte B

Such a great museum. Always has cool stuff on and a great collection upstairs. Awesome building too! Plus its completely free! Just reserve a timed ticket online. A must see if visiting LA

Grace Wong

The Broad is a great place to visit!! The tickets are free - I believe there’s only one or couple specific exhibitions that are paid but the prices aren’t bad. This is a great place to take friends or family who are visiting! It’s not gigantic so you can sweep the whole place in the hour but if you’re lingering it can be longer. It has a lot of great artwork in it, it’s got a very clean and classy interior and a cool exterior! This would be a hotspot to go to when in DTLA. Come visit!!

Dominic Benedetto

Beautiful Museum! You have to get tickets online before you go. They are free, (unless you choose to see one of the special exhibits). The paintings are on the 3rd floor and there's a nice gift shop on the first floor. It probably took me about an hour to slowly walk the whole 3rd floor.

Brittany

I love this place because they make the art so accessible. The staff is always so kind -- never rude when asking that you don't get too close to a painting. And the tours and apps with explanations really help you to understand and appreciate the art. Plus, it's free!!

Max M

Who doesn't like free top tier art? Everything from Warhol to Kruger and more. You register online for a ticket and time. Either general admission or for the infinity room. Definitely an ideal place to spend a few hours. Gift shop on ground floor. Highly recommended.

Esmeralda R. Ruano

It's nice if you like art. small museum not so good for small kids, but hey it's free. Make reservations online. The table set is so unique my husband is 6'1 tall and he looks so small, so you have an idea of how big this is 😁 it's free I guess you can check it out at least once with the kids 😉 and if you don't have kids then enjoy. LOL

Ruby Lee

To be honest, modern art doesn’t always make sense to me, but this place is still a fun museum to visit. Highly recommend to book your ticket beforehand (it’s free though). Here are some pictures I found interesting.

Pallavi H

The building itself is a view. There was no waiting as we booked the tickets in advance by visiting their website. The tickets were free**. The parking is at the basement level and is super convenient but you can park outside at public parking as well. The structures inside are beautiful and the abstract art is mesmerizing. The restrooms are on main level and 2nd floor.

Krista S.

Awesome place to visit in LA for some modern art! We went when the Murakami exhibit was being held and it was awesome. Make sure to check out their special exhibits and also some require special tickets! They also have $15 valet parking available!

Alex Kim

Always a solid rotation of exhibits here and required time entry tickets. Doesn’t take too long to go through the museum, approx. 60-70 minutes. Not very crowded on the weekdays.

ROY TREVINO

Very nice museum and very interesting pieces of exhibits. Might be dated at the same time. Send them in a YouTube video from 4 years ago. Seem to be the same exhibits still in use. Still neat to visit and experience all around.

Helen Xu

Perfect little museum - 1st has the small gift shop and a rotating special exhibit setup. 2nd floor is the main museum. You have to get the timed tickets ahead of time on the website. I would spend about an hour or so here. I think it’s worth the visit!

AMY MUNNS

I was so sleepy when I visited this museum but I still remember how many great paintings this one had. I can't wait to visit this museum again when I am fully awake. Fortunately, I took lots of pictures so I could study about paintings here before I visit again. Another great museum in LA, especially for contemporary art lovers!

Aurora Herrera Flores

Came here thinking can make the General Admission that free but had a time frame. We manage to get tickets for $14-18 - Student/adults via online. Parking is easy and $17 all day on the weekends. The restrooms are nice and clean. Would not recommend taking young children here.

Halomonster05

Great place to visit in L.A. We got tickets in advance and we didn't have to wait in line. Museum has amazing expositions and my family enjoyed most of them. You can take pictures and video without flash. Go early if you want to take pictures without a lot of people around.

Devin Daversa

Beautiful architectural exterior, surrounding an immense collection of fine art. Sculpture, painting, photography, all on display. Changing exhibits keep you coming back for more. I cannot wait to go back again. Thank you to all staff for making this a great trip.

Jen Bayarena

First time at this museum and it was pure entertainment-from gold Michael Jackson and his monkey to giant table and chairs to Andy Warhol-the exhibits are super fun!! We had a blast walking around and kept wandering back through to find the things we missed. There's so many pieces to make you stop and try to figure them out. And there's even more pieces to make you smile or even laugh right out loud. Getting tickets was easy, parking was easy, and getting in was easy 👍Giftshop was another experience with some really fun pieces. And then there's tons of restaurants to check out before/after the museum (we walked over to Grand Central Market using Angel's Flight) Updated to add: the husband kept saying that he just doesn't understand art lol He still had a great time and even wants to go again...yay for me!

Tracy Hang

Takashi Exhibit was golden. The amount of details in each piece was amazing. Especially his larger piece that wrapped around the whole room. Something that you'd have to see in person! So good, I wish there was more!!!! The gift shop was kind of sad with nothing really appealing to buy aside from the books.

cindy

If you want to take photos in Yayoi Kusama’s infinity room, def book the tickets in advance. It’s free with general admission. There’s a time slot you can pick out. If you can care less about it and wanna look at other exhibits, you’re most likely able to book the tickets the day of. (weekdays at least) If you’re staying in the vicinity for two, it’s cheaper to get an uber there & back. Otherwise i believe it’s $17 for 2 hour parking. Not too bad considering it’s free admission.

Alicja Nowacka

I had a pleasure to visit that Contemporary Art Museum and from the first minutes I was amaaaazed and excited to be there! I don't know how but with every exposition I got more into that I couldn't wait to see what will be in the next room! That's crazy and the museum is definitely worth to visit! I visited couple of them in LA and that one was my the best one!

Jonathan Tachibana

I enjoy the Tour at the Broad Museum. It has interesting pictures, sculptures, and I also enjoying the Infinity Room. Which is interesting experience. I went there in January 9, 2019 before the Pandemic.

Sheromie Vittachi

The Broad was excellent!! Mind expanding. It’s free but Don’t forget to make an entry time reservation. We parked in a lot closeby the Central Market for $12 ( and had lunch there too) and walked up ( slowly) to the Broad. Parking at the Broad was $17 with validation. Right next to Disney Hall. Broad is closed on Mondays. I loved the Jean Michel Basquiat and George Condo works. There was also a separate exhibit you could pay for ($18) for artist Murakami or the Infinity room. I highly recommend. There’s also a grassy area with chairs beside museum that you can relax a bit in

Trey Saunders

The Broad is a local LA gallery that is free to enter. You do need to book the free tickets online first of all and display the QR code on your phone to get in. There are special exhibitions which you will need to pay to access and sell out fast. The most notable artwork on display is the Balloon Dog (Blue) created by Jeff Koons.

Evelyn Garcia

Very nice museum, it’s not expensive, but you do need a reservation to get in, you usually have to reserve it a month in advanced. The art is excellent, and everything looks very well planed and placed.

Yoram C

The Broad is a fantastic place for Art lovers. Amazing broad collection (pun intended) of contemporary geniuses all in one place within a great simple space rapped in a cool architecture Don’t miss out

Anna L. Conti

This very popular place does an excellent job of crowd control. They have online, timed reservations and very friendly informative staff onsite. The special shows and regular collections are high quality.

James Allnutt

This is a great modern art gallery with free (pre booked) access. Lots of must see pieces from recognisable names like Warhol and Lichtenstein. They do have additional paid exhibits you can also attend, worth checking out their website in advance to see if they’re names you’re wanting to go checkout.

Broad Museum is a contemporary art museum in downtown LA. It’s great place to take your kids and visitors there for a visit. The permanent art collections on the third floors are free for visitors. Tickets can be reserved online. There are charges for the two special exhibitions on the first floor. Those tickets can be purchased at the museum. We visited both the free arts gallery and the two paid exhibitions. We love both of them. But I felt the free general admission show on the third floor is much better as it has more iconic show pieces and featured prominent artists such as Roy Liechtenstein and Andy Warhol. The balloon dog and tulips are the highlights of the exhibition along with the giant table and chairs. The Paid exhibition currently including This is Not American flag and the Stapling on the Rainbow from Takashi Murakami. For people who are fans of Murakami, it’s well worth the admission price of $18. If you like contemporary art, you can easily spend two hours at The Broad Museum. If you're on a tight schedule and just want to drop in — to take advantage of a famous free LA attraction — you can hit the highlights within an hour.

David G

I was AMAZED at how great this place was. My friend's just said it was a free museum so I went in blind and WOW! Such a huge selection of Basquiat, Warhol, Koons, and so much more! You definitely have to visit. You have nothing to lose! It's freakin FREE

Todd Kewley

Note - it's pronounced "Brode" (long O), and is named for the couple who funded it. Admission is free (parking is not), and online reservations are preferred, though it appears that you don't need to be too concerned about being there at your reserved arrival time. If you're there before they open, you can walk over to the Gehry designed Disney Concert Hall (a block away) and take a few pictures. The collection itself includes extensive representation of "name" modern artists (Warhol, Lichtenstein, etc.), as well as many lesser known but significant and/or interesting artists. Presentation is as expected for a contemporary art museum (white walls, high ceilings, wood floors, abundant lighting). In sum, of the contemporary art collections in LA that I have visited (MOCA, LACMA), The Broad is easily the most comprehensive, and the one that I would recommend that you see if you're seeing only one.

Akm islam

Bussy as usual missed there weren't any tickets available It's free unless special exhibit events Even though it's free but advanced tickets requires best to book your tickets month advanced

Justin Reiling

Absolutely stunning, skillfully curated museum featuring breathtaking architecture and collections. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that certain special collections were free after 5pm (not sure if this is every day, or just some days of the week). Must see in LA!

Jingxiao Lu

Nice museum. Good architecture. Has some good collections of American artists. Around 1 hr would be sufficient for going over most collections pretty thoroughly.

Sky Thai

A fun eclectic museum that has some iconic pieces worth checking out. Jeff Koons balloon animals, Andy Warhol pop art, and more! The architecture is modern and adds to the whole experience too. The musuem is just the right size to explore everything and not too overwhelming. You can get through within 2-3 hours! There's some storyline to parts of the exhibit and you can get into depth with the pieces with some audio. All in all, loved it and would recommend to friends and visitors coming by!

AlaDollar

Make reservation in advance thru web. Entry is free. Was here last December but didnt make reservation, they cant allow us entrance. Back again, with reservation this time. Here for Jeef Koons, Andy Warhol And Robert Therrien under the table. Five star!

Terry O'Sullivan

Extremely enjoyable collection of paintings and other works of art spaciously displayed in rooms usually majoring on one artist at a time. Lots of visitors of all ages having a good time. Highlight for me was Julie Mehretu’s atmospheric pictures. Staff exceptionally helpful and enthusiastic.

Reisha Duarte

One of my favorite buildings in LA. I love the collection they have in here! Worth visiting for art and architecture. Entrance is FREE(!) and timed tickets are required. Parking is quite steep so we would usually look for street parking or grab something to eat at Grand Central Market first and then walk from there.

Athena Reel

Amazing museum and it’s free. Tix are released daily and on last Wednesday of the month. Be sure to check out infinity exhibit! The collection includes Warhols!

Sims

It’s free to enter, but parking in the garage of The Broad is $17 and that garage is the closest to the museum unless you’re lucky enough to score street parking which is hard to come by. You also have to go on the museum’s website and choose the day and time you want to go. Again, this is completely free to do. Have your COVID card or a picture of your COVID card and your driver’s license ready because they’ll check that at the door. Also, you pay for your parking at the kiosk by the elevator after you go to the museum as expected. After your visit you put the ticket back into the machine and you pay.

Brian Bonaparte

One of the best collections on earth, presented in an attractive, beautiful setting. Go if you have the chance! Remember to get tickets online first.

Erivan

An amazing popular contemporary art museum. The the gallery experience is pleasant. The Museum houses a nearly 2,000-piece collection of contemporary art featuring 200 artists as such as Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, Barbara Kruger, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, and more. The museum has more than 2000 works in its collection plus showcases year round temporary exhibitions. The Broad is housed in a building designed intended to contrast with the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall’s bright metallic perforated exterior while respecting its architectural presence by having a porous, "honeycomblike" exterior, based on a concept entitled "the veil and the vault".

sozo gk

Vanity collection of hot name artists. Go if you like the stylish. After a few visits I just don’t go any more. Not enough provocative art to keep you thinking differently. I’d rather go to Hammer! Adding 2 big stars for their current Wm Kentridge show. Rare to see this extensive presentation. Well installed. See this and skip their vanity collection upstairs. Went 2x might go a third!

Maria Sanchez

This place is awesome. I love the gorgeous architecture of the building, employees are so helpful, and the artworks are so fascinating. I really recommend ppl visit when they have a chance. So much to see and so much to get into.

J Kim

So nice place Just u need to do is take a reservation But it doesn't ask u money Nice should go, Many nice and beautiful artworks

Rafael Corrêa Gomes

Very nice place 👌🙂📸 It's required a free ticket you can buy it and schedule your entrance in a min in front of it by a QR code they have, or via their website. They were having something paid happening with an artist as well, I recommend to check out if they are going to have something happening over the time you're going to be attending it.

osvaldo luna

One of the most amazing pieces of art I've seen. Definitely have to visit if you're in the area. Iconic museum.

The Broad[1] (/broʊd/) is a contemporary art museum on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. The museum is named for philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, who financed the $140 million building that houses the Broad art collections.[2] It offers free general admission to its permanent collection galleries.[2] However, not all of its events are free and admission prices may vary by exhibit and or by event. It opened on September 20, 2015.[3]Since 2008, Eli and Edythe Broad and the Broad Art Foundation had been considering different sites for a museum for the art collection. In November 2008, the news surfaced that Eli Broad had approached Beverly Hills about building his museum at the southeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard.[4] In January 2010, he revealed that he was considering a 10-acre parcel on the campus of West Los Angeles College just outside Culver City.[5] Meanwhile, in March 2010, the Santa Monica City Council approved an agreement in principle to lease the city-owned 2.5-acre parcel next to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to Eli Broad for $1 a year for 99 years while also contributing $1 million toward design costs. Broad would have paid the rest, an estimated $50 million to $70 million.[6] In August 2010, Eli Broad announced formally that he would build a museum in Downtown Los Angeles.[7] He agreed to pay $7.7 million for a 99-year lease. Officially characterized as a grant, the money subsidized affordable-housing units at The Emerson, a high-rise residential tower next to the museum.[8] The agreement also includes an $8.5-million government share of the cost of the museum's outdoor plaza and government payments of up to $30 million to reimburse Broad for building the museum's underground parking garage. Under that buy-back provision, the garage eventually will be government-owned.[8] In an invited architectural competition for the project in 2010, six architects were asked to present preliminary designs. They included Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and his firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture; Swiss pair Herzog & de Meuron; Christian de Portzamparc from Paris; Japanese duo Ryue Nishizawa and Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA; and Diller Scofidio + Renfro from New York.[9] Diller Scofidio + Renfro were eventually chosen to design the approximately 120,000-square-foot museum, which includes exhibition space, offices and a parking garage.[10][11] In February 2015, Eli and Edythe Broad hosted a public preview of the new building, attracting some 3,500 visitors.[12] The museum was opened by the Broads on September 20, 2015.[13] Celebrities in attendance included Bill Clinton, Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Perry, Heidi Klum, and Larry King, among others.[14]

Chris Hopkins

A very cool and free modern art museum with a spectacular small infinity mirror room. You do need booking in advance, but it’s quick and easy. They’ll hold on to your baggage for you for free too.

James A. (spudbot)

This art museum was a definite must see. Things visitors should know is that the infinity room (if it's still there) requires a reservation or else you have to wait in the stand by line waiting for the line to go down enough to let you join. Online the website let's you reserve for both the infinity room and the upstairs art museum. There is also a fee to go to the painting collection being displayed downstairs but I didn't go.

Gustavo Osorio

I don't where to begin but my god the place is packed with a lot of art and it's pretty cool. From different art styles to art sculptures. Definitely would come back by myself or with friends and family!

Morten Lorenzen

Great collection of Roy Lichtenstein paintings, my absolute favourite artist on the museum. The infinity mirror is great experience especially when you get the full depth of the Mirror. Great designed building.

T Childs

This beautiful building, across the street from, and in stark contrast to Disney Hall, houses some terrific art. Selections from the Broad collection are artfully displayed (pun intended) and focus on post-modern and modern art. The museum is free but you must have a reservation. Well worth the visit. Also, the Kusama Infinity Room is incredible, with a separate reservation.

Spencer Q

A cool museum to visit. Surprisingly it's also free. I definitely enjoyed the pieces that were there. Highly suggest paying this museum a visit.

hal burkhardt

I really enjoyed the BROAD. It's an awesome museum. We saw the Takahashi Murakami exhibit, "Stepping on the tail of a Rainbow" We loved it!!!!❤❤❤

Maxim Tyutyunnikov

Absolutely loved visiting this museum! It's a must see from the outside, it's a must explore from the inside. And the artwork collection is just phenomenal!

Jessica Arroyo Vazquez

It's a nice museum, it looks bigger than it is, if you wanna go to the Kusama's infinity mirror room you should book your date a month in advance the last Wednesday of the month starting at 10am, which is a little sad for tourists that didn't know that like myself

Yoshi Perez

It’s a very nice museum. It was perfect size for me since I get tired of walking around. I think it took me about 30 minutes to look around. Parking is not a cheap because of downtown LA. But entrance is free! You need ticket and reservation online.

Julie knight

This is a wonderful museum of contemporary art in down town LA. The regular collection has many Jean Michel Basquait! I love the pieces by Mickalene Thomas! The museum architecture is art and inside is spacious and very comfortable. So much to see including Andy Warhol's, Jasper John's, Cecily Brown ... too many great artists and pieces to name for sure!

Julia Cloward

Amazing art, but parking was ridiculously expensive, so the admission being “free” is kind of tricky. No posted prices for parking before you have to pay is the only complaint.

Tiana Valdespino

A nice way to spend an hour or two. The building itself is beautiful and there’s so much more to see once you’re inside. Free tickets, just need to reserve in advance.

Renata Baqueiro

Loved the visit, worth being on the line waiting for the tickets (wanted yayoi kusama as well). Great collection of art and its for free, totally recommended.

Oli Gozar

One of the best art museum that I visited! They have stunning range of comtemporary art collection. One for the books!

Vic Hernandez

The Greats are here. Warhol basquiet Lichtenstein Jasper Johns...and more!!!! Free entry with reservations. Parking is $20+ A bit crowded on weekend...but well worth the trip!

Inspirational Intelligent “IIA Clothing” Athlete

The staff is the best part, very informative. Not to mention the art was beautiful. Make sure you register to see the special things. You won't want to miss out.

Dammz33

what a great exhibit and wonderful facility. our kids were engaged with a scavenger hunt and my wife and I enjoyed the beautiful artwork and sculptures. a definite must visit. I want back in, Lol

Nicholas Pun

Prefer the Getty over this. There's also not a lot of exhibits here. The giant table and the "balloon" figures are pretty cool though.

Gary B

Love this free modern art museum. Make reservations for tickets online. Only takes a couple of hours to see everyone.

Carlos

Fantastic art museum, only 10% is shown in the museum at once and it’s cycle’s all the time through the exhibition. Don’t forget to check the infinity mirror from yayoi kusama

Dave

Newer modern art museum housing magnificent collection of the Broad family that is a joy to visit. Free admission. Reserve online.

Steven Rancourt

That they allow you to visit for free under reservation is really great, for that it deserves 5 stars. The entrance with the elevator is exceptional. The general exposure is done quickly, 45 min for us. Don't arrive early. They categorically refuse to let you in more than 15 min before, it's very annoying. We showed up 20 mins early and they told us to come back in 5 mins.. You'll have to wait outside and there's nothing to do around.

Joyce Jan

An architectural wonder packed with many incredible contemporary art collections. Love many of the art pieces by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein and Kara Walker👏👍🖼🎨 Love Kara Walker’s decoupages, depictions of the plantation life in the Old South… sad topic but exquisite work! Given that a Jean-Michel Basquiat “Skull” painting recently sold at auction for $110+ Million! I feel blessed and privileged to be in a room with so many of Basquiat’s paintings, sincerely appreciate Eli Broad’s generosity and his foundation’s amazing collections🙏👏

Mario Teran

Booked an appointment to appreciate Murakami's work which is currently being displayed at The Broad. Had an amazing time, and it made me realize that I need to hang out in DTLA more often.

Great museum, their parking is expensive tho, so if you can find street parking might be the best option. They have rental scooters/bikes right in front of the museum so that’s a great activity afterwards as well, there’s also a small coffee shop outside.

Dennis Quast

We had a lovely time there and I can totally recommend paying a visit to this museum. You won't be disappointed. 😉

Lani Campos

We booked tickets the morning of. They are free reservation tickets but I recommend getting them in advance because I believe they do "sell out". Firstly, the architecture of this building is incredible. The building itself is a work of art and was mind blowing just walking through the entrance. The art pieces are fascinating as well and so entertaining to look at and gain some inspiration from. It was not too crowded and was pretty easy to check everything out quickly. The exhibit is not huge and can most likely be looked through in about an hour. I highly recommend checking out The Broad as it is in a great spot of DTLA and has some iconic pieces.

The Broad museum is a must see if you’re in Los Angeles. General admission is always free, reservations are required. Eli and Edythe Broad’s Postwar and contemporary art collection, is extensive and displayed beautifully in large white rooms with the light coming through the holes of the outside wall. We started on the 3rd floor, the 2nd floor is where you’ll see part of the vault that stores the collection. On the 1st floor you’ll find more art and the gift shop. The whole thing takes about an hour to an hour and a half. We parked about a block away, metered parking $6 for two hours.

The museum is free and no food or water is allowed inside. I cannot stress how wonderful this museum is! Inifinite room requires reservations and is open once every Wednesday month as far as I heard. My favorite exhibition was Michael Jackson with a golden gorilla in his hand statue and my least favorite exhibit was black silloutetes all over the wall of how people went crazy during the civil war. That exhibit was disturbing because it shows people indulging in cannibalism and other weird stuff. There is a reservation required even though the museum is free, please note that!

Ellie M

Really nice! Parking under the museum, it was $17 for the day (Saturday ( they don't validate on weekends. Tickets were free, the works of art there are amazing but it doesn't take more than an hour or two tops! Lemonade is right across the street at moca if you want to get something to eat afterwards!

Lucy Madrigal

Loved that this place is free, enjoyed the artwork that was displayed, most likely will go back to see the mirrored rooms as that was closed on our visit. Afterwards we walked to the Perch for brunch. Fantastic day all around!

Anand Inani

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! What a fantastic collection of captivating contemporary art! And unbelievably, it's FREE! A gem in downtown Los Angeles not to be missed. Must say it has more mainstream appealing art than it's neighbor MOCA. Enjoy!

Trekker T.

Great modern art exhibition. Should have got advanced ticket for the infinity mirror room.

Veronika Taylor

The best contemporary museum I have been so far! Very impressive. Admission is free, but you need to book your tickets in advance to get inside

WhatscookinginLA - food blog

The broad is a free to enter and an amazing gallery in the heart of DTLA . If someone is new here or visiting and appreciates art , this place will excite you . They have some amazing artwork from artists around the world and a small gift shop at the exit. The main attractions are large tulips and the extra large and big dining table. , Its a very modern space , every inch of it feels like an art. Attaching some of the shots i took

Adriana Diaz

We really enjoyed this museum and it’s amazing that you can get free tickets

eunice *

General admission is free, some events/exhibitions will require pay. Great collection of artworks at this museum - be mindfully ready for a visual merry-go-round! Employees are all very nice. Went on a Sunday, 4:30-6:00 pm. Crowd was there but not too overwhelming. Wish they had a wider selection of postcards at the store. Nothing much worth buying.. Left with a smile on my face though so definitely recommend a visit!!

Eric Manriquez

Excellent place. Nothing beats FREE. Get advance tickets for the museum and also the infinity room.

Findlay Gray

This museum is so cool. The building alone is a sight to see. Once inside staff are quick to direct and answer any questions, super helpful. The exhibits are absolutely beautiful. So happy I got to enjoy them, it's been a long time since I've been to a museum. The mirror room is gorgeous. It feels like you're standing in the middle of stars. Such an amazing feeling.

Jj Mm

Free, cool art. Interesting looking and diverse patronage. I love the fashion bibles in the gift store. Small museum but nice outing. Valet parking next door $15 for all day. Yummy fresh fruit vendor right outside. Not too crowded

D MOORE

Los Angeles has been home to The BROAD for 5 years now. Anyone who has an appreciation for modern art or architecture should have visited twice already. Tho surprisingly many have not visited yet. Well besides its bold unapologetic art pieces. This museum also provokes thought and offer insight into topics both art and human related. Which helps us better understand the artists and their work and the times in which we live. A sophisticated yet very accessible atmosphere fostering an appreciation for art and for artist maybe even for your first time.

David Norton

Remarkable art in a beautiful museum. The escalator through the sculpted tunnel is breathtaking. Enjoyed viewing the art at this incredible museum after hours.

MARIO LUNA

Really great experience had some of my favorite artist's on exhibit Basquiat,Warhol,Murakami,koons and of course the infinity room 😲

Unending Entertainment

Amazing experience with alot of art from numerous artists. Was awesome to see all the different installments as well as some iconic pieces that I've seen before.

Nate Wolf

The Broad *pronounced Brode, not Brawd* was my favorite museum with excellent presentation of serious modern and contemporary master artists. Lichtenstein, Basquiat, Warhol to name the minimum few of this vast collection. An amazing and free museum. Must have tickets, can download immediately. Additional temporary collections or shows may require paid admission, but we found the permanent collections to be just as thrilling and exceptional. The museum shop was also a great find and not to be missed. Reasonable prices with some luxury products as well. Photos allowed, no flash.

Tatiana M.

Make sure you reserve your tickets in advance. I’m lucky enough to have to come to DTLA once a week with a view of this building (which, by itself, is an art piece). I decided to visit in the middle of the day and it was great. The infinity room is a separate ticket so you have to make a separate line once inside and reserve tickets in advance. No cutting the line or trying to sneak in. It’s a short experience (2min) but very cool. I highly recommend coming here in the middle of the day during the week. Lines are short and you get more time with the art

Ayda Ria

This place was cool.. I love the art and that its free!!! People working there super nice... parking is $17 card only with validation that you get at the gift shop. With out validation its 27$

Dan

Amazing art museum, cant say enough about it, incredible experience

Stella Luna

One of my fav Art museum in LA. It’s modern and free! I reserved in advance for the infinity room which you should do! I do recall doing a month in advance reservation for it.

Sunny Wong

Interesting modern art pieces. The infinity mirrored room was very cool but they literally time you and you have 1 minute inside the room only.

stuart langridge

I don't have the ability to explain just how much I loved my visit. From the infinity mirror room to the gift shop on the way out I loved it all. The huge amount of different, modern, contemporary art on display is amazing. Loved the Lichtenstein room,the Warhol room, oh, I loved every room!

Sten Edwards

Amazing selection of famous artwork from many artists! Loved the Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons and Warhol exhibits~

Michael Teoli

WOW! When The Broad first opened, it was impossible to get tickets. we tried and tried and it just didn't work out... so after a while... we just forgot about it. Years went by... then the other day when our family was trying to think about what to do the next day, we thought... HEY! I wonder if we could get tickets to The Broad tomorrow... and guess what? They were booked. JUST KIDDING!!! We got tickets!!!! You need to reserve tickets online, but to get in is FREE!!! Well sort of... expect to pay $27/car for parking. But the sting of a $27 parking bill is soothed when you think of that you're downtown... everywhere is going to be like that, mixed with... heck - you got into the museum for free!!! And believe me, it makes the trip that much more convenient. Just as the outside of the building is cool... so is the inside! The lobby is like a cave area. The artworks are amazing as well! I've never seen a Warhol in person before and they have TONS of them!!! I'll be honest in saying, my experience would have been even better without the kids... but even with the kids it was cool. Be sure to ask to do the kids scavenger hunt as it is REALLY well done. It's not specific questions like... find this painting... it make you think - "Find a piece of art that makes you sad... happy... that makes you laugh... that you'd give a friend" etc... The guy at the end forgot to give us part of the prize (he gave us the directions and left out the box with the art kit inside... whoops...), but he was super nice and helped us with directions around town. If you're with your family, I recommending seeing the museum (which won't take you forever with kids, depending on how interested they are), then go out of the museum, bang a right and then a left where Angel's Flight is and take that down ($1 a ride I think) and it spits you out RIGHT at Grand Central Market for lunch! Take it back up again to your car and it's a perfect DTLA day!!!

Eduardo Ortiz Ramírez

Very nice museum with an excellent collection of modern and contemporary art.

Murat D.

Thanks for keeping it free. Good place to visit to enjoy from some art especially infinite mirror is such an awesome spot that only lasts one minute but you want to stay longer!

Tanja

Such a great gallery! Excellent pieces, well organized and spaced/displayed.

Original “OG” Gannet

The building is spectacular. And the art is a must see it changes all the tine. Very little people attending now and your ticket is free just order online. Now is great time to go now!

Eric Esser

Very nice, unfortunately the starry exhibit thing wasn’t open during my visit. For sure worth a visit, but depending on how much you appreciate art you may not spend a ton of time there. We spent about 1.5 hrs and saw everything.

Andy Orellana (Spicy Brown)

Very pristine environment with extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. The parking situation is pricey so it's best to arrive via Metro or a Ride Share service. Definitely a place to bring your date or friends. The infinity room is a must-see. Don't delay, book your appointment today!

Hau-Yu Tam (譚巧瑜)

This is a fantastic museum that my whole family enjoyed and would go again. Features brilliant art, including Basquiat. My only issue is that their Infinity Rooms arrangement is that all guests go in for only 1 minute at a time - a poor choice meaning you spend all of that minute taking photos (to be honest) and no time at all appreciating the beauty of the room (which is small to be fair)

Rosa Schneider

very cool place to visit. can be a bit of a maze so make sure to go through every possible opening to make sure nothing is missed.

Jesika Perez

Very nice museum. Some gallery are free but other you have to pay. Reserve your spot!!

Minh Anh Emma Tran

I went here in 2019. This is a nice museum to learn about contemporary art in Los Angeles. You will have to book tickets online to avoid the wait. Free admission. There are basements parking although it can be expansive. I’m from OC so I took the train to Union Station and walked here, or you can go by bus. The fare is $10 for round trip tickets from OC, LA bus fare already included. Very good deal and you don’t have to worry about parking in downtown LA. It took 2 hours for me to finish the whole museum. Fun for hangout, date, solo or anything you like. Arts are unique and colorful. A lot of people go here to take Instagram pictures since it’s very Instagram-worthy. Overall, good experience, will comeback every now and then.

Jessie Reynolds

Parking is fair for the area $15+ for the underground lot... wonderful venue for the thundercat performance; the art was spectacular as always. Very funky and unique museum experience...definitely recommend for anyone even if you think you don't like museums.

Hannah Howard

Pretty cool, especially since it's free. You just have to book your visit online - they do fill up with reservations. Was kinda bummed that they split the immersive experience up from the gallery for reservations. The day my class went I was only able to go to the gallery and I'm an immersive artist so it would have been special for me to see.

Tuti Do

The Broad is a place to get lost in creativity, be inspired and delight in visual eye candy. Our favorite exhibitions included the works of Jeff Koons and Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrors. There’s so much to see and explore at The Broad. For more about our visit, check out my website Joy Et Joie.

Sydney Photographer

Just an awesome experience, Elvis and the large table were the highlights, it was a fun museum. No wait time as we booked ahead.

Kimberly

The is one of my favorite museums in the city. Tickets are free and the only fee you would need to pay is parking which is $17 with validation from the museum which are an extra plus. Highly recommend if you’re on a budget or want to go on a little art excursion (the MoCA is right across the street!!!)

Banan Ashe

Great expansive exhibits!!! Had to take a break to process all the fine artwork

Rosa Ho

Cool exhibition and lovely exterior. It’s free entry, make sure to book your tickets in advance.

Hennesey

Broad museum had to be one of my favorite museums in LA. I went here with my dad and a neighbor from Palm Springs and we had a wonderful time. My dad is 83 and has hard time walking long distance so after some looking my dad went to sit down and when he sat down one of the people on the first floor named Lester was keeping my dad occupied which I thought was just over the top and I appreciate. Also in the gift shop they have a huge variety of great things to buy. Eric in the gift shop was super helpful and I beyond appreciate his work. Overall the broad museum is a must see in LA

Angel Ybarra

The Museum is free but you will have to pay for parking. It will take you about an hour or so to go through each section depending on your viewing style. There's a diverse selection of art so I'm sure you will find something you like. Would recommend.

J D

Fab visit, exceptional architecture, visiting from Liverpool UK. Enjoyed seeing Wahol !!

Rommel DG

Very interesting subjects in the museum for a short 1-2 hour visit/venue.

Dan Belick

A wonderful museum to visit full of modern art. Don't miss the Infinity room it is a experience that must be seen. Tickets for this separate entrance go on sale the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 noon.

Kapil Upadhyay

This museum has varieties of modern art. Especially i liked paintings by Basquiat which were unique and showing true colors of modern society. I wanted to tour infinity room but it requires reservations 1 month before so please book your reservation before

Claudia Garza

Great experience if you enjoy spending an afternoon lookong at art exhibits and having great photo opportunities. It's also in a great location if you want to grab a coffee afterwards or have dinner. Moat tickets are free and sell out fast so don't hesitate!

Vincent Volpe

Good viewing, only one floor but still a good viewing.

Shadiya Chaib

Amazing museum and FREE! All the staff were so helpful and getting in was such a smooth process, I really loved how you got the infinity room to yourself for a minute. Highly recommend 👏🏽 …

Ariestt Tan

a lot of arts pieces inside, but i don't understand most of them. make sure u have book the tickets online

Quentin Guillot

The museum itself is an incredible piece of architecture. We appreciate the philanthropy of the institution and we would appreciate even more if it were extended to the parking rate (17$ for the first 3 hours and then 5$ each 15 minutes) You better park at the Concert Hall.

Gavan Eckhart

An amazing experience. Classic and cutting edge contemporary art.

Nathalie van Linder

This was fun but limited. I am not a huge fan of modern art so with the exception of a few items it didn't really speak to me. Impossible to find entrance to the garage with Google maps, but found street parking. Recommend visiting this museum though!

Michael Moore-Chiorazzo

The museum was beautiful. The architecture was amazing. There was a lot of art to observe but I want to say even after feeling like I took more pictures than I needed to as well as had multiple discussions about the art, I still finished the exhibit within 50 mins. I expected more.

Björn Hundhausen

Rather small but well curated collection of modern art.

Jacqueline English

Great exhibition space. The building is amazing as well. Good collection of contemporary art.

A.T. Montoya

No-cost entry, so you have to plan ahead. Appears sometimes tickets open up as people no show. Great art and building. Basquiat, Lichtenstein & Warhol sections were awesome. We valet parked as building in DTLA.

Dhanyakumar M H

Book your ticket in advance! Museum has a good collection and display of the arts!! Time well spent here. It takes about 2 hours for the complete tour of the museum.

Azeezat Ishatayo

Free entrance and it had a lot to see. Free entrance excludes event and exhibitions. The bathroom was really clean and nice looking. No food or drinks allowed inside and they are very strict on distance from the art.

J O (docj)

A beautiful buiding with some really iconic artists showcased. The general exhibition is free too. You need to book the entry though, so do it online before arriving to make it seamless.

Salvador Loera

Best museum out in la in my opinion 👌 …

Andrew Lee

Fantastic free museum. Well worth a visit.

Cee Dee

An experience to say the least, rooms and rooms full of historic and modern art. Quite an amazing collection .. they even had Basquiat, impressive!! Definitely get tickets early, especially if they have special showings. Thank you to the staff, specifically one if the door staffers, young man, glasses, dark hair, (unfortunately misplaced his name) helped us get in and settled, as our arrangements for the viewing went sideways, as we were running about LA, visitijg various museums which were supposed to have some Basquiat on display (not saying who, but they ar locates across the street 😉, not mad, things change but update your website)

Emma Rose

A smaller museum than I expected, but the gallery is put together well and the architecture really makes the experience. Make sure to book tickets ahead for the Infinity Room, it’s worth the short wait in line!

Jon Morales

Love to visit the Broad once a year. The building is beautiful. A visit here will take about 90 minutes to see everything. There’s special galleries that you need to get separate tickets for in advance with more limited availability due to the capacity of the galleries. It’s worth grabbing those tickets if you can. Next door is the amazing Disney Concert hall building and the LA Opera House Building. City Hall is a few blocks away. The MOMA museum is across the street. Recommend looking for the cheaper parking lots a few blocks away to the east as parking can be really expensive here.

Serge R (IAHGVA)

Must-visit contemporary art museum in LA. Don’t forget to plan in advance and get your tickets for timed entrance (eg Infinity room) about 2-3 weeks in advance. Free entrance is compensated by $16 parking fee :-)

Syed Tasmir Faridi

A beautiful place, we loved all the displays

Chris Osborn

I’m a huge fan of art museums, especially contemporary and modern art. I love the fact that the Broad is free (just make sure to book ticket reservations in advance). I came here with a couple friends for an afternoon and was really surprised with how cool the space and pieces were. I won’t spend too much time explaining all of the art, but please do yourself a favor and reserve some tickets and get down here to see for yourself. Also-great space for selfies and photos!

JaeHee Chang

I really liked their motto free art for everyone. General admission is free. Waited for about 5 min. The collection was great. Mostly modern artists' works. We took about 2 hrs to look around. You can take longer. The building was also a piece of art. Special exhibition requires admission fee. Some you have to sign up before. Loved it. Great place to appreciate art in LA.

Daniel

Absolutely must see museum in LA, try to book in advance so you can also get in the Kusama exhibition rooms, altough you can see a smaller version in the regular collection. It's so nice to have this kind of museum for free!

Astrid Turner

Amazing museum! We reserved tickets in advance and got in on time, but they still ran out of tickets for the infinity mirrored room before we got to the front of the line. :( We still saw the smaller exhibit, though, and thought it was very cool. I enjoyed seeing the Warhol and Lichtenstein works and the museum was easy to navigate. My three kids enjoyed it as well and the staff was kind and helpful.

Seamus Carmichael

The free entry category was not available but tickets to the special show "Light and Shade" which was amazing, gave us access to the regular collection and it had many highlights. The Roy Lichtenstein section was impressive and the Warhol was too.

Stephen Masek

This is a surprisingly large and fancy place. I was there for a meeting. The breakfast service for the meeting was amongst the best I've ever had, not the usual run of the mill meeting / convention food.

Chad Fuller

This museum is one of my favorite. It's always so clean and everyone is professional and kind. It's refreshing to see employees that reflect the atmosphere of the museum and make you feel welcomed into the galleries. It's a beautiful place to take photos and for general appreciation. Checking out the newest art installation is a MUST. Waiting the hour or so is definitely worth it.

Chester Rodriguez

This is a great museum to come to if you don’t have any plans for the weekend or spare time during the week. I do recommend you reserve tickets online ahead of time! It saves you the time of waiting in a long line for at the door tickets. The art here is very unique and take your time observing every piece of art, to appreciate it. There are a few places near the museum if you want to grab a bite to eat after, which is very convenient. They do allow cameras, just as long as you turn off your flash. Bags are also allow but if they’re big bags I think they may have to search. Over all I enjoyed my time here and I place to come again! I didn’t get to go into the infinity room, because you have to reserve tickets for that separately from your admission tickets.

John Webber

The architecture alone is worth the visit here. What an amazing building, inside and out. The place is bathed in natural light, making it such a pleasure to view the incredible art collection. The art is so very cool, and curated so well. The store on the ground floor is worth a stop, and the books sold are hard not to buy after being inspired by the art collection. Definitely park under the building as it is the most convenient. And make sure to reserve free tickets for entry as data ahead as you can.

Mario Valdivia

A great example of modern contemporary art. Great architecture. Small but impactful. Some display choices could be merited however overall solid. Free admission for great pieces of art. That's pretty good in my book. Just make sure to book tickets in advance.

Jason MacFarlane

Super cool an amazing experience in the downtown. Tickets are free and just make sure you sign up for the infinity room as well downstairs as it is separate registration and fills up. The third floor is recommended to visit first and the scale of some of the art pieces is incredible. Parking is $15 and available in the basement if you'd like. Staff was very friendly and the architecture scale is out of control. Nice washrooms on site. Make sure to check out the escalator elevator and staircase.

Angela S

A great example of modern contemporary art. Great architecture. Small but impactful. Some display choices could be merited however overall solid. Free admission for great pieces of art. Would definitely come back with my kids

Holly Francis

Always a good time. I would check the website to see what the exhibits are before you go. When they are installing a new one, half of it is closed. If you try to reserve tickets, it will be most likely sold out, but they always have a stand by line. During peak travel/ tourist season, if you plan on going with stand by, I would go one hour before it opens to Wait in line (May be 1.5 hours on sat and sun or if new exhibit) if not, expect to wait 2 plus hours. Most of the time it is free sometimes they charge for either half or all of the exhibits but the most I have ever paid is 15 dollars. I personally like to start at the opposite path and walk through the rooms backwards so it is not as crowded. Also, grand central market is close by and is a cool spot to eat, snack, drink or hang out. I love the Broad Infinity room hacks: 1. Go first thing in the morning and when you enter the museum make a b-line to the infinity sign up kiosk on your left 2. When you sign up you get text alerts, save your ticket your time will be for some long time in advanced (it will be actually 1/3 of the expected time most of the time since most people give up) 3. If it is a long time, the museum takes about 1.5 hour and the moca is a five min walk and is also free so I sometimes go to that while I wait or go grab a bite 4. If you go and the kiosk says it is closed. Wait in front of it. It will open as people drop out. This usually works up until 3 hrs before closing

pedro vera

This is always a great free experience, if it's not inside the museum it's outside the museum. Enjoy the views. Don't blink cause you may loose the awesome view.

Ja'Milla Lomas

The collection is phenomenal. I went in search of Mark Bradford and was thrilled to also find Basquiat, Warhol and Jasper Johns and discover Kara Walker. Beautiful building. Great flow. I love the timing, it makes for easier, less crowded viewing. Will definitely go again to see the new rotation of exhibits.

Mike Y

The building form is very interesting. About the layout of the gallery, there is room for improvement.

Khoi Nguyen

Loved this modern museum. It never disappoints. Fairly small with 1-2 floors. There are plenty of exhibitions and expect to spend 1-2 hours here. The infinity mirrors room will take about a 2-4 hour wait but well worth it. It's best to reserve all tickets online. Overall, great museum and a must visit when in LA

teadrinkerxyz

I first become aware of this museum through a East West Bank calendar. I came along with a few friends because they want to see The Disney Concert Hall. I have to say that I love, love, love this museum! The museum architecture itself was interesting and distinct among the high raises. It was designed specifically as a museum with the controllable window, high lighting. Art collections is impressive! Check out the storage room through the windows by the staircase. Contemporary arts is intriguing and provocative! The imagination and creativity of the artists are impressive! Do all the research and reservation to maximize your experience. Plan out your day. We only planned to see the free exhibit so we stayed about a couple hours. Wait time was about 20-30mins on a Friday late afternoon without reservation. For sure will return to see the mirror room and other exhibits.

Ha Pham

A beautiful museum with a variety of artists and works. The tickets are free but I also ordered them in advance online. The employees are really friendly and the pieces are interesting. If you want to see the Yayoi kusama exhibit you have to register and most likely wait in line. It’s a 45 seconds in the room and max is 4 people in the room. Enjoy it while it lasts !

M J Roberts

Great exhibits. Contemporary interior design and use of space. Especially like how the escalator was aesthetically integrated into design. Appreciate that museum is open FREE to the public on THURSDAY. Slight confusion on notification regarding scheduled time.to visit Infinity Room installation.

O.k Tomahawk

The museum is amazing the soul of nation was spectacular like you walked back into time and space. To the infinity mirror exhibit. Just wish you could gotten more then 45 sec for a two hour wait for the infinity mirrors. Was expecting like a minute or two hard to take so many pics. 3 stories beautiful artwork. Some staff members are nice the other were rude. You can tell they were so agitated and over their jobs. Didn't stop my friend and I for having an amazing time parking was ridiculous even with it waived it was null and voided only waived for 2 hours like seriously. The art work just amazing

neda jangi

Thanks to whoever founded this museum and whoever sponsores it so citizens can enjoy the art for free. Truely grateful! Staff are generally nice, respectful, and helpful.

Kat

nice museum and great displays!

J C

A fantastic contemporary art museum located in downtown LA. The entry fee is free. The art collection is outstanding. The wait was ridiculous in the summer - 90 mins. Try to beat the crowds. We thought it was an ideal way to spend a couple of hours away from the burning heat, but the 90min wait did not help — long lines due to it being free. Tips: Go early and beat the crowds.

Kar Ruiz

Free access to art museum, can you ask for more? A collection of statues, paintings and more, that can delight your art lover alter ego. Famous Giant Blue Dog in exhibition. Only minus is the time to get inside the museum, approximately 20 to 30 minutes if you select the free option.

Drummermom

Fun museum! Admission is free! You need to get there early and get in line. We didn't get there until 30 minutes before opening and waited an hour and a half to get in. We were pretty far down the line. The exhibits were great! The museum store is worth spending time in before you leave. A fun extra are the food trucks out front of the museum as you exit. There was a great ice cream truck that had vegan ice cream.

Janay Marie

I was sad finding out i couldn't visit the infinity room. No one told us it was a limit on how many people go in a day. Had i known that would've been my first stop. This place is a art lovers imagination playground. My favorite is the huge furniture that no one is allowed to touch. It would've been dope to take a pic sitting in one chair.

M Hernandez

The way the infrastructure of the honeycomb design on the outside of the building let’s the light in is so cool to see from inside. It’s the best way I’ve seen diverted light in a museum. I’m always in Awe when I visit even the general area. For something like their Soul of a Nation special exhibitions, they are offering days of the week to view it for free. And that’s pretty sweet.

Viengrat Nethipo

It's wonderful to see many of Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol and others

Antoine

The broad was amazing to say the least, there are not enough words I can put into this review to show the level of excitement I had when I say a Basquiat and some of Jeff Koons installations. I did not get to see infinity mirrors but I already have tickets to go back. I think from an overall spectrum it’s one of the more unique museums I have been to, I would say the earlier you can go the better to avoid crowds. The are is very much eclectic and beautiful I would say, really eye opening as you walk through the museum.

Yael Tsarfati

Amazing diverse art pieces. We were with kids that were also engaged by a scavengers hunt. Highly recommend as an art museum with kids.

Chai K

I loved it! This is highly recommended even for someone who jst wants to look around and stroll. So plenty of little things to be appreciated and to Love about this museum. What's awesome about it is . .. it's Free to the Public. Parking in the structure is $12. A good 2hours for the entire experience. Do not forget to reserve your spot in advance for the Mirrored wall...

Zac Yeow

Reserve tickets 1 month beforehand, it is free of charge. Many interesting contemporary artworks here from all over the world. Really loved the placed. Yayoi Kusama is one of the special exhibits that require the reserved ticket to view, if not you need to wait in the standby line which is a long wait.

Andrea Espejel

Great museum, the best part: is free. If you don't want to wait in line you just have to register online before your visit. It's big and if you don't have a map you can get lost a little bit. Also you can't bring backpacks for the security of the exposition. I totally recommend it !

Showrov Khan

The Broad Museum is the newest contemporary art museum in downtown LA and houses the philanthropist Eli Broads art collection. It has a honeycomb-like exteriorand houses 2,000 works of art in the Broad collection, among the most prominent holdings of postwar and contemporary art. According to a recent report, millennials are flocking to the Broad Museum. The average visitor age is fourteen years younger than the national average for art museum attendance in the U.S. The appeal starts with colorful edgy art, such as Jeff Koons' glaring, gold-hued sculpture of Michael Jackson and his chimp, Bubbles, and Takashi Murakami's psychedelic-looking, dancing mushrooms. The museum is also located downtown, increasingly an entertainment and nightlife hub. And, to top it all, the admission free.

Alex Mireles

Super Nice place I highly reccomend you to have a visit someday!

I love it, very interesting, well organized. My daughter took me when it got just opened, so you had to have reservations time. Amazing customer service, workers were guiding, helping with any questions. Half way through my knee hurting, because I was after surgery, so my daughter asked for a wheelchair, they brought it really quick, so I was be able to continue enjoying my tour. Amazing building, amazing exhibition.

Seira Tanaka

I have lived in LA for 1 year, work in the office down the street, and finally had the chance to come visit this famous museum! The museum is much more than the basic photos everybody takes there! I thoroughly enjoyed all the art pieces 😊 I recommend booking tickets in advance! (I booked mine 3 months and forgot about it until I got a reminder email) ahaha good stuff!

Sanjay B Dalal, oGoing

Put The Broad on your must visit Museum in Los Angeles. Not only is the main exhibit floor architecturally awesome, the collection of artwork, sculptures and experiences is beautifully inspiring. The best part: It’s free! Just reserve ahead of time. It will be a most memorable visit!

RHONDA FRYE

What a great place to enjoy and soak in some of the most amazing contributions to the Art World. Their current exhibits are colorful, deep, and just plain fun! You can enter for free but the fee line is short and worth it so you can spend more time inside enjoying the exhibits rather than in line thinking about it on the outside.

George Shum

There were several pieces with a wow factor. Free admission was a big plus. However, I have seen better modern art collections. Some of the paintings look like the handiwork of your child who is attending kindergarten. The architecture is beautiful. Love the tube elevator. The infinity room was a great idea but overrated. Parking without validation is $4 every 15 minutes. With validation is $12 for 3 hours max.

Luis B

A must from any contemporary art lover. In the collection there are Andy Warhol and other artists. A beautiful building an around. Plenty a photo op places to enjoy as well as enjoying the beauty and the natural light of the building.

Ruth Romero

Love the museum. Entrance is free but the parking lot cost $15 just FYI. Good stuff in the shop. Very good option to visit and the mirror room too!

Omah Diegu

Fantastic exhibition of Black American Artists works that capture the mood of the black revolution in the USA .. . 1963 to 1983. This prestigious museum . . . The Broad . . . is exactly the right venue for such an important period in history. Exhibition is on until late September. I m honored to have been invited to the opening party and arrived early enough to enjoy the art works with my company before the crowd happened. A must visit for all! I will again.

Bon Manhkong

Spectacular museum. General admission is free if you Reserve tickets ahead of time online. Amazing works of art... Mostly pop art. Architecture of building is pretty.

Andrew Ly

Pretty cool, modern art installations. You can get tickets online to avoid line ups. The infinity mirrors require a second ticket/queuing up so do that as soon as you arrive. You can explore the nearby area in the mean time if you finish early since they notify you when to return for check in. Also the entry is free which is fantastic for budget tourists.

Theresa Ransdell

Came here because our daughter wanted to and we all ended up having a good time. It's comtemporary art so expect to be baffled and intrigued. The exhibits are all rather interesting. If you come you have to see "The Visitors" exhibit. Completely cool and unique. It's impossible to watch all 9 screens at the same time but do your best and stay till the end you won't be disappointed. There is underground parking, during the week it's $15 for 3 hours with museum validation after that $5 for every 15 minutes or a flat rate of $25. After 5 pm weekdays and all day on weekends it's a flat $15 no validation required. There's 2 restaurants adjacent to the museum both pricey, but it's a trendy spot in L.A. so that's par for the course. It was a nice way to spend a few hours and we would come back.

Jcx

There are a lot of museum in the area but this one has a special piece inside that made me specifically go here and spend more than 2 hours. A Yayoi Kusama infinity mirror is housed inside where you need to register to be able to see it. You go inside a room and there you have it, a masterpiece where you can see as far as the eyes can see. Truly an amazing experience to see her work.

Monica lola

Lovely and organized museum. Definitely will keep coming back for more exclusive events. Parking available, get your ticket validated.

Ion Mirzac

Definitely a must to see place. Free entrance (make sure you make an appointment online and you registered to the mirror room as first thing when you get in to the museum ) The parking $15 if you ask for validation at the museum if not they will charge you $20-$25 💰 When you finish the visit this museum there is a nice building near take a look at it and you will not regret it.

George C

This is a great museum to check out some very nice contemporary art. It's free to the public but I do recommend reserving tickets online to have easy and speedy access to the museum. They do have parking at their facility, but you can also find some reasonable priced parking nearby. The museum is also located reasonably close to A lot a great locations downtown.

Shantis Tae

Really liked this museum, well-curated and well-organised - we were worried that we wouldn't be able to get in given that tickets were booked up, but once in the drop-in line, things went inxrwdinlt smooth. Both getting in to the museum and viewing the Infinity Room went surprisingly smoothly, although we wish we'd gotten more than 45 sec in the latter...

Johan H

Great building, impressive contemporary art collection and it’s so terrific that it’s free to enter! Good gift shoppe too

Jorma

The work here is large. You're really immersed in the art. The 1st time going, the line was long to the main infinity room. Most of the other rooms are small & the lines are short. I've been twice now & look forward a visit soon

Jennifer Rozo

The art here is interesting however if you plan on just showing up don't you have acquire tickets which are free of charge once you have them you have to wait for the date your given. They also have a light show display that they make you wait for which is ridiculous because you already wait so long to get into the museum! It was a very cool experience but a bit over the top with all the red tape they have at this place

Chinh Chinh

If you head west of Grand Central Market, you’ll hit The Broad, a free museum to all, as long as you reserve tickets ahead of time online. I wanted to come here mostly for the coveted infinity mirror room, made famous on Instagram. Once inside, you simply walk to the kiosk for this exhibit and it’ll text you when your spot in line is up. You’re free to explore and enjoy the rest of the museum while you wait. There are many works on display and the space is HUGE, although a bit deceiving. From the outside, the building looks massive. But once in, there’s really just one floor of exhibits to browse, in terms of the collection housed inside, but it’s still huge in terms of space and ceiling height for that one floor. You definitely won’t feel claustrophobic there. For a free museum though, I would still say the exhibits are still impressive and worth your time. One of my favorites was the huge dining room set that you could walk in and out of, making you feel like you’re on the set of Honey I Shrunk The Kids. It took about an hour and a half for our time to come up for the pièce de résistance, Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity mirror room, which was perfect because you can definitely get through all the exhibits upstairs in that amount of time and then do the mirror room as your last thing before you leave. The trick here is to be quick, because once inside, you only have 45 seconds to take as many photos as you can. Have your camera and pose ready. Once the door closes, the quick light show begins and you have to snap those IG photos QUICK and hope you got the shot. I see why they only give you 45 seconds because it’s so popular, but you truly need two visits to fully enjoy it. One entry for photos and another just to experience it fully without having to worry about nailing a good shot. It really is a beautiful exhibit to see in person. It’s officially named The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away and you can see why. There’s something mystical and magical about this room and all those lights and what they represent.

Esther Sohn

A favorite of all time, amazing for kids and adults alike. Art and building are thought provoking and visually stunning. A feast for the eyes

Laura jade

William Kentridge exhibit was interesting. The contemporary exhibit was worth it if you get tickets in advance.

Brett Kwong

You should never ignore modern art. And in here, you can find more art that related to your living. Although it's free admission, you better reserve the tickets online, as they will control the intake count, otherwise you gotta walk outside for walk-in

Anice 72000

Went to African American art exhibit covering mainly between the 60 and 70's on display until September. This was very well put together. Lots of information given about the various artists. A must see if you love art.

cxjxgerdes cxjxgerdes

A FREE museum, that offers me a chance to teach my children about art & let them wonder through the rooms.... It was wonderful to watch my kids start to express their takes on what they see in the works of art, was a great time! Perfect size museum for like a quick stroll through, or just chill & vibe off the pieces for hours! Awesome architecture with the skylighting!¡!

Mario Sanchez

Free art. Great collection and an awesome building to house it all under a single roof on the middle of downtown LA. We went for the permanent collection and weren't disappointed. The Warhol pieces are always great to look at, and the staff are some of the best. There wasn't a single question that wasn't answered every time. Especially when they were art/assist related.

Emiliano Acosta

The Broad is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. It’s art inspires so many people and it’s a place where people of all ages can go and everyone will get a different perspective. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The infinity room has a waiting list that is worth the wait. get wait listed then walk around the museum or get lunch and plan to come back for the infinity room. Simply nothing negative to say about this museum. Did I mention it’s free?

AGR

An incredible museum. I've been there many times and I live in San Diego. The building itself is a work of art. The exhibitions are always amazing. Saw the infinity room a few years ago and it was so impressive. The Basquiat collection.......incredible. I will always visit there at least a few times a year.

Shahram Mehraban

Awesome museum. Free of charge. Buy your tickets ahead of time. Weekends are super busy.

Casi King

We visit lots of museums and we found The Broad to be rather small, kind of boring and not really free. There were two "special" displays - a mirror display that required signing up but was already overbooked by the time we arrived at 1:00 pm so we missed out. The additional Soul of a Nation display costs $18 per person. Only one of us was able to see that. And parking is $15. So, even though The Broad advertises as free, it is a limited free.

Sharn Sandhu

LOVED IT! We started off in the line where you didn’t have to buy tickets, but the wait was extremely long so we ended up buying tickets since staff was going around and asking. Honestly, it’s better off just getting tickets because you get so exhausted standing in line and it was chilly when we went. Sign up for the infinity mirrors before going upstairs since the wait time can be over an hour. The art pieces are unique and it was a good experience.

Brian Prugalidad

Such an amazing space, absolutely worth an afternoon if you are in the area. We were also able to catch the "Soul of a Nation" exhibit, which I highly recommend. Walking distance from Grand Central Market and the Bradbury building, other must visit spots in the area.

Emma Matsuda

I mostly liked the permanent collection of works from Roy Lichtenstein and Ed Ruscha, other than that it was just ok. A lot of garish art that impresses people who don’t know about contemporary art, tourists taking photos etc. I would give it a 3.5 if google allowed me to. Out of all the major art galleries in LA see this and the Getty, don’t bother with LACMA.

Paul Davis

Great place to see a wide selection of modern art (mostly American) in a wonderful setting drenched in light. Be aware you must either book in advance or queue for standby tickets even though it is free.

Joan Corman

The Broad was a delicious treat for the senses. The building, the permanent collection and the Jasper Johns exhibition were amazing to experience. The staff were pleasant and helpful and parking was easy to access. I’m looking forward to my next visits

Иіск Р

Pretty neat place to visit in downtown LA. We arrived right when they opened and only spent about 20 minutes in line. There was a bunch of beautiful art on display and the gallery was very clean.

George Chalhoub

Excellent arts museum, free entry but you need to book tickets in advance, helpful staff!

Rory Peris

The art here is amazing. They have lots of stuff to draw from, and it seems like they will rotate exhibits. Not worth waiting in the stand-by weekend line though--make your reservations ahead of time (the earlier in day the better). Subtracting a star as well because infinity room was sold out for the day by the time we were even able to get in with out reservation at 230 (they close at 8 on the weekends). Parking is also very expensive on site. Worth a visit if you reserve ahead, park off-site, and get there early.

Manny Perez

This is a great museum for the younger crowds. It is convenient close to many restaurants, parking is valet and it is free. You have to make reservations ahead of time.

Yizu Lulu Yeh

Fantastic collection of modern art, including the famous Andy Warhol's Two Marilyn's, the Twenty Jackie's, and the wonderful self portrait. Lots American artists' work such as Jasper John's, Kara Walker's African't, 1996. I'd recommend getting the tickets before arrival to skip the line which can be long.

Chris LaLonde

Even though I had to wait for an hour to get one of the "non-reservation" tickets to get in, I still very much enjoyed the museum and once inside understood why they limit the incoming people so much. Many of the exhibits would be difficult to enjoy with a larger crowd. The collection of art is one of the best I've seen and the design of the building is awesome in its own right. As odd as it sounds, even the bathrooms are well designed with contemporary fixtures and unique stalls.

Kevin D Sherman

Though I'm not a huge fan of modern art, this collection is quite eclectic, with a good mix of "famous" artists alongside those who "should" be more known. Good explanatory texts along the art (English only) and several pieces are part of the audio tour (bring your own device and earbuds; wifi is free).

Jeffrey Kao

First of all, it's a free art museum but you better make a reservation in advance if you don't wanna wait in the long line. The staff members were nice and helpful, and it's definitely worth a visit if you are around the place.

Starry Yuan

Good museum and it's free! You can reserve online for tickets. We came here mainly for the infinity mirror, so the first thing after we get in is to sign up for that. We signed up at 1:30pm and get notified at 3pm on a Saturday, which is not too bad. But you can only get 45 seconds when entering infitiny mirror. Overall, the experience is amazing!

Joe Guevara

Stayed at the Westin so this was walking distance. Quick tips as of Mar 16th: Masks no longer required but “recommended” Book in advance if you want to see the full infinity room, separate cost The main area itself is free but you do have to book time on the app

Carlo N.

One of my top favorite LA museums. The Broad is a contemporary art museum in DTLA. A three story museum; its exterior architecture bee hive is really amazing and so is its interior. Hence, it is one of the most popular art museum gallery in LA. General admission ticket is free and timed, so you have to book it in advance (weeks-1 month). Weekend is the most popular time. So you'll be waiting at least an hour. But its worth the wait. The galleries are well organized, spacious, clean and modern. Staff are friendly and professional. On average you'll spend a solid 1.5 hours to see every art. 🎨🖼🎭 Overall, I highly recommend this museum. 💯👍

Jason Mills

Just a wonderful modern art museum. Do make a reservation; it is free, but it is timed entry to help with crowd control. It will probably only be a couple hours you spend here, but you will enjoy yourself the whole time!

A. Richardson

Please get your tickets in advance. I had to stand in line for like 20 mins. This museum is located near Chinatown in Los Angeles. They do have a gift shop as well. It’s has breath taking art on the each floor and amazing sculptures throughout the facility. This place was not free and it had security on station as well.

Jasmin Hussain

Generous art museum offering free entrance. However, you should reserve your tickets online. Their highlight is the infinity room, a must see.

Steven Mejia

The museum is beautiful, there's no doubt about that. Some of the art is phenomenal and some of it is just bland. But I guess that's for the viewer to decide. This place is free, just make to sure to reserve your tickets online beforehand.

vajra deep

Amazing to go to the Broad. My longtime wait of visiting to the Broad, finally completed in end of year 2021 and Iam so happy to visit this place of art musuem. I will definitely come back next time to get soaked in more art and watch other magnificent Arts and shows.

Mike Reilly

They offer free tickets but you have to pre order them. However, I showed up at the last minute by myself, and they emailed me a ticket on the spot! While not a huge fan of stone of the art, there use something there for everyone.

Amoi H.

I spent my last day in LA waiting to see Yayoi Kasuma's infinity mirrored room. I tried to see it a couple days before but the line was closed an hour and a half before the museum closes for the day. I went back early on a Thursday morning and joined the line for the infinity mirrored room exhibit. Little did I know that it would take all day for 45 seconds in the room. It was an awesome exhibit and they have other cool exhibits to you can check out once you get inside the museum while you wait for your time slot to see the mirrored room but I really had no intentions of spending the entire day waiting for it. I would definitely do it again and but I would have to plan much better next time-- get where super early just so that I'm not there all day. The later you get on the line, longer your day will probably stretch out waiting to see the exhibit. Their system will at least allow you to do other things downtown while you wait though which is pretty cool. I just wish I knew all of that ahead of time so I could plan accordingly.

Ran Kang

First time visit with friend. Moment I take escalator to upstair, I am surprise by open space with life size art works. Personally, I LOVE in full size art. Staff are super-duper friendly. and museum display superior quality of art.

Marsyita Mohtar

Came down here for the Yayoi Kusama's Longing for Infinity Installation. Mostly exhibiting modern and contemporary famous art which are both thought provoking and immersive, I had a wonderful time.

Chris Freeman

What a fascinating selection Mr. Brad has purchased over the years. In a not shell, this particular display is all of the popular modern art that we have come to know and love throughout the years. Everything from Warhol, to Ruscha, to Lichtenstein, to Koons and then some. But my favorite was the viewing glasses that allows you to peer into the storage showing decades and millions and millions of dollars of paintings that are stored away in the vault. Looking forward to returning and seeing more.

Liz

It was a nice place, but I really didn't love the exhibits they had on display when I went, and my friends shared the same sentiment. There is only one floor acessible to standard entry visitors and it's not super big. You'll only need 30mins-1hr to see everything. Some of the exhibits were really neat (maybe 1/3rd of them), many were unintelligible scribbly art of seemingly all the same style, so if that's not for you, maybe skip till they swap out to a new display. The remaining section of the floor is a no-go if you bring kids because multiple exhibits were displays of grotesque, and frankly gross, explicit content that even a group of 3 reasonably mature adults were having a hard time stomaching. There were tiny warnings on the corners that there would be explicit content in the exhibit but if you miss it or your kid runs off you're in for a stomach turning surprise. I like to think I have a pretty open mind to shock imagery but it was honestly just a bit disturbing. I'm sure you can google it to see what I'm referring to. The building is stunning and I definitely recommend visiting, but not with the current exhibits. The souvenir shop also had some decent stuff. I've been told by some local friends that there are other art museums that are just better overall, so I'll be checking them out next instead.

Mariela Orellana

Such a fun experience. It's free if you are able to reserve tickets ahead of time. So art pieces aren't so family friendly but for the most part they are all PG. Highly recommend. Make your way over to Tommy Burgers for a classic LA experience

Klaudia Migdal

This place is just splendid! I can imagine spending my days here if I were to live in LA. Beautiful building and modern art that you just want to inner we yourself into. Great place for a date as well as to come with a whole family. I just adore it!

Chanel LéShay

This place was so cool. The sculptures and all of the art work was very nice. Such a great experience. Only thing is at the end with the gift shop. The items are very pricey and from the outward appearance they don't look worth it. But I mean I guess people have to make their cash somehow. But yes, bring lots of moolah!

Adam Ruiz

The Broad is one of the better free art museums you can experience. The staff was amazing and helpful. The exhibits were top-notch. You can also go for free! That's right, something free that is worthy in LA!

Chana Rynderman

Beautiful exhibition featuring works from Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol to name a few. If you’re able to do the infinity room by Yayoi Kusama then give it a shot, it’s beautiful to experience but the lines for this specific exhibit are quite long and you may end up waiting an hour or more. One can do the whole museum in less than an hour so plan to do something in the area afterwards and come back to enter the infinity room. I’m not such a fan of the location as there wasn’t much to really do in the area while I waited but one can walk across the road to visiting the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Nishanth Krishnamurthy

The architecture of the building is splendid and entrance fee is free, just be sure to reserve in advance a time slot to visit online. My favorite piece of work was Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors, which is a nine-channel HD visual projection of different musicians playing their parts of the same song, but in different rooms in the house in which it was filmed. It's one of the most memorable projects I've ever seen.

Nick Smith

Absolutely beautiful. Worth a visit. Loved the collection and the variety. Couldn't help take a bunch of pictures. A must see if you're a local or even if you're just visiting from out of town.

Molly BZH

Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away was so mesmerizing! One of the most interesting museum I ever seen before!

Martin Sobrero

Great museum, a lot of very interesting things. The mirrors room is worth the wait.

Emiliano Noriega-Petti

I had an amazing time but I would give more stars but it gets only four stars because there's this one room with what I can only describe as having aggressively pornographic imagery if you're bringing anyone less than 10 with you. I'm not a prude but I would have loved to disclaimer before the room.

Cole Wede

I can't wait to get back to this place! There was alot of awesome art on the walls and after we spent a lot of time looking at everything, several hours, I was surprised it was only a small amount of their stash. When wandering around, I can't remember where but, you can see some of the other artwork hanging in their storage area. Also, the infinity room was awesome. Make sure to have your phone ready because it's a quick trip... but also make sure to enjoy the experience -- seriously, it's only 30 seconds.

Chris

Cool architecture, varied collection, not overwhelming, and the main gallery is free. Great for a rainy day.

فرحان باشا

I did my AP Art history summer homework in this museum. I kind of appreciated how small the museum is. I hated how confusing it was the first time to get around the place, I got lost pretty easily. The arts here are mostly photography. But they look so much like art and the scenes are confusing and interesting which makes this place so good for a visit. Would recommend 8/10 One part of this dedicated to photography but the upper level has more interesting and questionable arts. I liked the upper story better. The pictures I took are from the upper story

The Cadillac

Great place to see art and take pictures!!!

Jessi Cox

I have been here 5 times, and everytime I am transported into a world of art and wonder. I love this place and try to come as often as I can.

Megan

The museum is free, but you can reserve tickets ahead of time to avoid the line. The art itself is great, and the exhibitions are constantly changing, but I feel like since it’s such a huge tourist attraction it loses some of its appeal as there are certain time limits and wait times for different attractions like the mirror room, and you only get 45 seconds to appreciate it.

Ilayda Buyukdogan

Beautiful must see museum. I had a change to learn more about Broad family. I appreciate their love for art and giving back to the community. It is a must see in LA!

WickedEye Filmz (Shane)

Such a beautiful place! Many familiar artists, beautiful paintings, and cool “Instagram-able” things to take pictures with! It’s so worth it! Especially because it’s free! Looking back on today, I would have definitely paid money to see it! I’m a 27 y/o male with little-to-no art experience & got so much joy out of seeing some of these paintings!! 10/10 recommend!

Colton Cooper

One of the best museums i've ever been. My visits to this place are always smooth and yes i've been here more than once since i always company my friends from other country to come here. I always plan a head by downloading their app and keep checking the ticket availability before going to sleep, after waking up and any other 1 minute time you can spend to check the tickets LOL. Well it's better to do that rather than waiting in a line outside for hours. To be able to get inside The Infinity Room for free before October, you definitely need to book tickets as early as possible before noon, it's already fully booked for September but sometimes some people release their admission tickets cos they're not able to go so keep checking. The store on ground level has many unique items including items from Andy Warhol. All the collections are very nice...that's the reason why i love visiting this place. It's worth all the efforts.

Gaby Zavala

Getting your tickets online before arriving is really helpful. Available parking at garage: $17 for 3hrs

CiCi

Been waiting forever to visit and finally made it. Architecture itself is incredible and I enjoyed some of the work

Skunk Jo

Really cool, you have to reserve tickets online some time in advance, but if you don't, you can also queue to be let in anyway. It's such a beautiful buildings with really cool architecture inside, but it is quite small. Definitely fun for an hour or so, but it's not a gallery you'd spent a day at, especially because lots of the art is minimalist or weird and not something you can spend forever poring over (unless you adore modern art). It's definitely worth a visit in any case! I'd reserve tickets because I don't think it'd be worth standing in line for an hour or so to go in.

Jan Christine Looney

Probably one of the best art museums in LA today. Loved the work by Basquiat and Haring. There was a line to get in, took us about an hour around noon on a Wednesday. But the museum is completely free. Don't forget to make a reservation prior to coming for the infinity mirrors to make sure you get your turn..

Marco Flores Moreno (M)

It's a highlight of Los Angeles, this museum has a great collection of contemporary art. The building is amazing as well to contemplate art. It's a crowded place be patient. The store and the coffee shop are nice to complete the tour.

Alain V Berrebi

Someone described the Broad Museum of Modern Art like a Cylon Mothership landed in the middle of Los Angeles downtown. The architecture is incredible. The art is Iconic. You will see pieces of art that you have seen in magazines or on television but never in real life because they were part of a private collection. I urge you to go early if you don't have tickets and if you do get tickets get them for the 1st time available during the day. I say this because the minute you get in run and ask where the Infinity Room is. Basically this is the room where you get the stand hands are surrounded by incredible lights. You get about 45 seconds if you go in alone and about a minute if you're with somebody else.

Tallie R

Online reservations were easy to book. Digital tickets were scanned and the museum was ours to explore. The infinity mirror room was fun. Although, it's very narrow and you only get 1 minute. Parking is ridiculous, so I parked two blocks away for 7 dollars and walked. The museum does not enforce masks despite all the covid guidelines. Plenty of people in flip flops and shorts, so no dress code in place either.

David Ye

love the architecture. Worth the wait to see the infinite mirror. Everyone gets 45s. The woman I was with, affectionate.

Allen Cahill

Overall experience was great, lots of good art and photo ops spots. The infinity room wasn't as big as we thought it would have been, but was still awesome, it is literally the size of a closet, you walk in they close the door, you are on a 60 second timer before they open the door and you exit so the next group can come in, for a free experience it is amazing..

Alec Durkheimer

The art here is fantastic. This place blew me away and along with the Getty is my top two favorite places to see art in LA. I went on a Friday mid day and was able to get in in the stand by line with about an hour wait. Right when you get in go and reserve a spot at the infinity room (the wait is always long). Then as you explore the museum you’ll eventually get a text 5 minutes before it’s your turn to go into the infinity room where you get 45 seconds by yourself. It’s a super popular selfie pic spot :) The Broad has an app which I highly recommend downloading. Bring headphones, because the app has multiple audio tours which I used almost exclusively to guide me around (I should note that I’m a fan of audio tours). There are also plaques with descriptions by each piece. This museum is really a gift to LA and a great reason to go explore downtown. Grab a bite to eat at grand central market nearby and check out Disney concert hall’s awesome architecture across the street. This is a top spot if you’re visiting LA.

Victor Robles

The collection housed here is great. The Koons & Warhol pieces were especially fun. Great vibe & flow, thanks to the awesome architectural design of the museum.

Peter Copley

What an experience! We went for the infinity room and third floor gallery. Quite amazing. I wish we had more time in the infinity room as it was amazing. The third floor gallery had master artists such as Warhol and Liechtenstein. There were lesser artist I did not recognize or appreciate, but overall I enjoyed the show.

Rebecca Gloyer

A fantastic experience, and it's free! Perfect spot for a date with lots of other fun places really close by for a whole day of fun. I recommend also checking out the mochi donut place close by, as well as The Last Bookstore and Little Tokyo--all within walking distance!!

Akil Smith

It's very busy place lot of people/ tourist, but it has the material to back it up. I saw lots of modern art. I've been to a number of museums and this place isn't the best I've seen, but it's not the worst.

Margaret Thompson (Maggie)

Exceptional museum experience. Highly recommend! By far one of the best contemporary museums I have been to nationwide.

Andres Rodriguez Ghersi

Stunning architecture of the Disneys concert hall in LA. Beautiful metal facades in disorderly shapes and position make this building an unique worth visiting place.

shlomi biran

Really impressive museum, with legendary artist. Especially for pop art lovers! A must spot when visiting LA Make sure to buy souvenir at there store since the museum is free. #freeartisimportant

Ikhsan Martadi

This is one of the most famous modern art galleries in the western region. Roy Liechtenstein, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Jeff Kunst, etc. There are many works to see compared to the size of the museum. It is a pity that Takaki Muranashi's work has entered the museum and cannot be seen, but compared to when I visited in early August, it seems that the exhibition has been reorganized around the famous artist. Admission is free, but it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. Reservations are not easy. Photo ID required. They say you can log into Facebook and show them.

Things to keep in mind about the Broad Museum: 1) It's pronounced with a long "o" and rhymes with toad. 2) Free admission, but you need to reserve tickets online in advance. If it’s completely booked, there's a line for walk-ins the day of in front of the museum. 3) Free wifi, but if possible, try to download the Broad Museum's free app before your visit. Contains audio tours and other info. 4) The Broad has a detached restaurant called Otium featuring Chef Timothy Hollingsworth. Other restaurants and cafes available within walking distance. 5) Over 2,000 works are part of the museum's extensive collection of contemporary art, but only a small fraction are exhibited at a time. 6) The collection of Jeff Koons sculptures and his other works garner a lot of attention, but the paintings on display by Jean-Michel Basquiat are quite notable and placed in historical context with a few works by his contemporary, Keith Haring. I also viewed several pieces by Andy Warhol depicting Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. Nice to see work by artists such as Barbara Kruger and Cindy Sherman represented as well. The strangest thing I saw was Damien Hirst's installation of a lamb suspended in a tank of formaldehyde called "Away From the Flock" (3rd floor). 7) The hottest exhibit on site so far as you may know was the Infinity Room mirrors exhibit by the eccentric and reclusive Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Located on the 1st floor, it requires a separate rezzie the day of. The exhibit was supposed to leave in 2016, but has been extended to October 2017. I checked in around 1:30p on Thursday 10/8/15 and the iPad reservation screen on site said I would be texted in 333 min (5-1/2 hours) for my turn, but when I spoke to an attendant, he was able to get me in line quicker because the hundreds of folks scheduled before me were no-shows. My 333 min wait turned into 10 min. Thank goodness for flakes ;-p (The 45 sec. exhibit is gimmicky and overrated, but fun nevertheless). 8) The coolest looking museum staff I've ever come across wearing all-black and sporting red lanyards around their necks. Both knowledgeable about the artwork and protective, if you get too close, they'll definitely call you out on it. 9) If you only have 90 min or less, skip the Infinity Mirrors exhibit and take the 105 foot escalator to the 3rd floor and see the collections there (Koons, Warhol, Ruscha, Basquiat, etc.). 10) Convenient access to the bus lines and subway. If you need to drive in, the museum has parking on site ($12 with validation) and will also validate parking in the nearby California Plaza building for $8. I decided to park further down the hill instead in a lock-and-park lot on Olive and 2nd streets for $8 until I left downtown around 8:30p after having dinner in the Old Bank District. Bring some walking shoes :) Tips: The museum has free-wi for use while you're on site. Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Room at the Broad Museum: As soon as you get in on the 1st floor, head to the iPad check-in station to make a reservation. Only 1 person (or with your friends in a group) are allowed in at a time for 45 sec. You'll get a text when it's your turn. Also try asking a Broad guide in case they're experiencing no-shows.

Dzanar Abbas-Zade

Museum you definitely should visit! They got also a nice shop.

Todd Smiley

Murakami and This Isn't Your American Flag was inspiring. I Highly recommend both.

Dilip Kumar Kacher

Its Art museum in a LA downtown which attracts you with its painting whether its color, pencil, craft or other. A lot varieties are there along with some crafted paintings, big table and chairs. Entry is free. But free entry is having a long queue alternatively you book ticket in advance. It attach a museum shop where you could buy art museum related stuffs also attached resturant.

Summer Li

I reserved the tix online one month before. Got there around 10:45am and waited in line to get into the museum. After getting in, you can reserve with the staffs to get in the infinity room.(waited about 20mins and they would send you a text) Amazing that this museum is still free.

Hugo Robles

Great place for a date night. Current exhibit, Yayoi Kusama, was amazing! I would definitely recommend going if you enjoy artwork that incorporates you into the piece.

Silver Sword

I really loved the atmosphere of this place and also liked that it wasn't too big of a museum. There was really beautiful and unique art and it was wonderful to see. Also, just a little thing I'm glad the museum did, was they added warnings at the door to rooms that had explicit art, which museums don't usually warm you about.

Bougie Corner

When you have visitors in town The Broad is a nice place to introduce your visitors to LA. Free entry but parking can add up to $15-$20. The infinity room as I call it is super cool. The line to get in was 2 1/2 wait, just to spend 60 seconds to take pictures. 😂 we did not sit around for two hours at The Broad. We walked down to Grand Central Market walked around, have lunch, have ice cream take the Flight little train up, a one minute ride for $1 and boom it was our turn to get a chance to see the infinity room.

hcbekardi

Love the architecture of this building always a stop when in LA. Love the Art especially the Koons pieces

Moritz Erdt

The Broad Museum in Los Angeles offers an interesting collection of contemporary arts in varies fields such as painting, photography, sculpturing etc. on different levels. That means you can encounter quite a vast variety of diverse artwork here. Also there is an extra temporary exhibition that's sometimes restricted, so check that out in advance. When I was there, I had the chance of stepping into Yayoi Kusama's infinity mirrors. An outstanding and almost overwhelming experience, we've almost missed as the posts there were limited. If you're looking for classic paintings, you're wrong here. If you're looking for hyper modern art, this is the place in Los Angeles!

Vincent Mok

Great free museum. Has the famous infinity mirrors and some great contemporary art piece It isn't large but collection is quite ample Definitely a must visit if you like art

Ryland Smith

Really enjoyed this place. Very interesting pieces of art inside. The building itself was my favourite part of the experience however. Incredibly unique architecture. Just stay off the grass mounds outside, saw many people that got scolded for sitting/playing on them.

Nikki Armour

Parking was easy and located underground, but keep in mind, even with partial validation from the museum rates will still be high since it is downtown L.A. Entering was fast and easy with our reservations, and they no longer hand out maps of the museum, so you can just go directly to the museum website for a map or scan the code to get the link to the website and audio features. We last visited before 2020, and today we enjoyed the art installations and exhibits we saw. The shop has a wide variety of items that feature many of the different artists on display. I enjoyed the shop much more on this visit because of the wide selection and prices. I would recommend this museum for high school aged students, but there are adult themes and sexual content/gestures in some exhibits, so please keep that in mind.

Jojo

Beautiful, large, and clean! It was a bit busy, but that's to be expected on a Sunday. Staff was friendly and admission is free, so can't complain! note: gift store prices are high!

Travel Guide

My favorite follow me on @motav8films I can show all you tourist around la and get you into all the hottest clubs

Kenneth Wright (Ken)

A great place, innovative architecture, we didn't have a reservation, but were able to wait in line and got in pretty easily. You have to like modern art.

EllƎ XGäëL

Yep ! Broad done !!! It’s , I think the best modern art museum in L.A...! But L.A is so poor on art places... so... it’s free ! So that ok, if you have to pay for a 30-45mn visit, it will be expensive... anyway if you are around, you should go there WITH PRE-ORDER tickets (free), or you will have to wait for about 45mn to go inside... like us !!!😂

Peter Chanthanakone (Director)

Reserve at least 48hrs ahead. Place gets crowded. Free, so it's amazing but a pretty small museum with 25 or so rooms.... Parking is $15

Bryan Drut

Some artwork was changed since the last time I was there. Brilliant stuff. Don't forget to turn your flash off

Illia Batozskyi

Infinity mirrored room is nice but you need to be prepared to act pretty fast because they give you only one minute inside.

WuDi Davis

The Broad had stunning exhibits. The Under The Table art piece is a wonderful piece to see. Under The Table featured installation is an expansive 10 Feet tall table with 6 chairs of around it. It is a sight to see and the description doesn’t do it justice, you need to see it in person. The Broads Infinity Mirror room is an absolutely stunning featured artwork installation by Yayoi Kusama. It’s an amazing awing sight to see, it’s absolutely stunning and mesmerizing. There’s also a large collection of artwork by Andy Warhol. General Admission and admission to the Infinity Mirror room is free. Bring your camera!

Ben Sameyah

Free entry during certain times on the weekdays. You can also pay the entrance fee and experience the additional exhibits. Great day trip with a group of friends or the family. Highly recommend.

Brett Kleinhans

A great way to experience art for free in downtown Los Angeles. The pop art of Lichtenstein, Warhol, Koons. Yayoi Kasuma’s infinity mirrors was an great experience. Jean-Michel Basquiat has some amazing pieces on display. Took my teens and it was a great experience for them. Can experience The Broad in under 2 hrs.

John Bol

It's an art museum. Really interesting architecture. Infinity room requiring an additional reservation is really annoying as they don't tell you when you make initial reservations and it's booked solid no matter how long you wait.

sarahi mendoza

Must see museum if you are in the Downtown L.A area. Everything else is pretty straight forward it’s free get tickets online and parking is $17 with validation.. Make sure to check the QR codes that are in the floor outside and inside in-front of the museum walls they are 3D interactive art. I saw a lot of people just walk by it without noticing it.

Javier

You need a reservation to park in the garage can’t get in without one. You take your ticket with you to scan it and get the discounted rate $17 an hour. Definitely need a mask. Hope this helps! Here are a few pictures from inside.

Victor Rathbone

Even if you arrive early there will be a waiting line. You can reserve entrance online. Entry is free. Great collection, amazing architecture. Don't miss it.

Bennet Silver

I love this place! As an interior designer if I may I have to say, jaw dropping. A sight to see for all travelers. Cannot wait to go back soon. Only 4 stars because of parking and restrooms

chris stoodley

such a great gallery, and it's one that i think many galleries should strive to emulate! a great range of contemporary art, and i was stoked to see great artists who i studied in school--like basquiat, roy lichtenstein and barbara kruger--at the broad. it's a large gallery that's really beautiful, well thought out and extremely clean. staff were exceptional and friendly, and it's incredible that it's entirely free admission. you currently have to book tickets, but it was such a seamless experience entering the gallery. i can't wait to return!!

Eduardo Avalos

Love that this art museum is free! Reserve your tickets ahead of time and enjoy the great variety of contemporary art in the heart of Los Angeles. A must for tourists and locals alike.

Juljan Desmet

One the best museums I've ever visited, and I've done my fair share. There is a lot of variety in artists and you are thrown into new interpretations and styles with every room you enter. Really remarkable that this is free!

CG Cruz

Depends on the art exhibit, this place is fun. I would suggest booking your tickets online before you go. If not you'll wait in line for a bit. It has contemporary art pieces, well at least when I went it was. Very spacious and enough room to walk around. Obvoulsy with art, you cant touch what is being displayed, so have your etiquette on tab for when you visit. Can be solemn at times. But give it a try.

Keen I.

Great collection of modern art. Entry is free and nothing beats free!!! Building itself is a work of art and the surrounding area also features greats feats of architecture. Highly recommend.

Ruby Powder

Fantastic museum with a massive free area for visitors to see if they are short of cash. Also great exhibitions in which you can pay to see. All round a great museum with really good customer service - the staff were very friendly.

Dillan Weerasinghe

Great museum. The Murakami exhibit was very enjoyable to walk through and all the staff is very nice!

Helen Marquis

Amazing collection of modern art housed in a stunning building. The core collection itself is an incredible journey through modern art - personally I was most excited to see Jeff Koons' Michael Jackson and Bubbles statue! There are also several classic Warhols and Lichtensteins. It's bright and visually arresting from start to finish. The visiting collections were just the icing on the cake with a double whammy of Yayoi Kusama and Takeshi Murakami. Even more incredible, it's all free! I went on Thursday evening when they open until 8pm and easily managed to book slots for everything I wanted to see online a couple of days before visiting. I would recommend booking earlier if you want some of the more prime time slots. A really excellent experience all round.

Kim Stuart

OMG. I would move in and live in this building if they would let me. I would go to the Kusama infinity room every day, twice a day. I would wander thru the gallery until my head was spinning and my eyes were crossed. I LOVE this place. It is my new favorite LA museum. Did I mention it’s free to go? Yes, most La museums are free or cheap to visit but this one is such a standout it’s crazy. Love it. And then love it some more. Great vibes, beautiful presentation and just amazing all around. The architecture is stunning. Just go and thank me later. Make sure you book tix for the Kusama room, that is worth the effort and then some.

Sanskruti Kuravalli

Great art museum. Very unique. The lines are quite big if u didnt buy the free tickets before hand but, but even then, if u want to see the infinity mirror exhibit, we had to wait 2hrs atleast after getting into the museum to wait for our chance. We had left long before that unfortunately.

Maksim Novichikhin

It’s very cool that you can visit such a great museum with numerous works of famous art workers. And that’s all for free!

Christine Taylor

What a wonderful museum and experience. I took my granddaughter there and she loved it. I've been there three times in the last 3 months. Each time I go I see something new and different.

Vercassivellaunos

I am not really into contemporary art, but some of the art in there were so interesting, also I liked the fact that there was no entrance fee and almost no wait time in the line.

Vivek Sarma R

Interesting take on Art - Modern & Contemporary ... critiques the society the way it is now.. Few exhibits stumped us. They are the museum with relatively younger Audience compared to most of the other Museums in America.

Charles Pifer

Amazing building and collection. The process for entry is different from most museums, you either have to reserve free timed tickets at least a week before your visit or wait in a standby line for what averages to about an hour. It is an interesting line to stand in though, you are up against the edge of the building which is beautifully designed and constantly changing and modulating.

Alex Vandoros

The time we visited the area was early in the morning so I did not have the chance to see the interior which seemed fascinating. The facades are really interesting and the building stands beautiful next to the Concert Hall.

Jared Turkus

Takashi Murakami exhibit is great!

B brown

Very cool museum. Lots of Warhol. You should go.

Billy Matthews

Place was a blast, was walking by and just went on in for free. Got to see some fun exhibits, as well as some shocking we'll probably to the kiddies at least. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something to simply do in the area. Allot of great stuff within walking distance.

Greer Lindsay

Must. Do. I set an alarm to remind me to book a month in advance exactly when the tickets were released so as not to miss out. You can walk up and wait in line, but its much nicer to be prepared with reserved (free) tickets so you don't have to wait. You will have to wait for the infinity room once inside the museum, but they put you on a waiting list and text you when its your turn.

Dan Klowden

Great museum that has a small but really exciting collection! Free entry is also great!

Jacky

Be sure to sign up for the infinity room early. We were a bit late and wasn't able to check it out, but I bet it would have been cool. Be sure to reserve your museum tickets online. You'll only have to pay for parking when you get there. I also had the chance to be at the museum during the free tour slots and the tour was definitely worth it. The guide helps you to see what the artists were trying to convey. Definitely join the tour if you get the chance.

Cristian D. Coldea

Put it on your list and take your time to go and see this museum. Of you like modern art you will appreciate the art inside, of you like architecture this construction is a great architectural structure.

Alpha Angelique Star

I Personally Loved this place, and I do share with friends & families. However remember to go on line register for the tickets to get in. If Not you have to wait for the long line for hours. Other than that Enjoy the Artists Of Humanity.

Kristen Knight

Amazing collection of art. The exhibits have a good flow which reduces excessive bottlenecking at certain pieces. Photo friendly (no flash) and free. We came on a Thursday morning with no reservation and got in right away, but weekends are insanely busy, so for that you definitely want to book ahead.

Marc Fankhauser

One of the best art museums i’ve ever been. Super modern art, cool pictures and sculptures. A great place to spend some hours when you are in Los Angeles. For me a must. I also enjoyed the area around the museum with nice street art and good restaurants.

Jaime Flores (kiddtekno)

They have a very nice collection of work at this museum and enjoyed my experience. It's very hard to get a photo of some of the work like any of the Murakami pieces. There is almost always someone in front of the pieces taking a selfie.. despite that though it is nice to be able to see all the work they have. My favorite thing is walking down the stairs and getting a peek at the storage rooms at the center of the museum. I also recommend signing up to see the infinity room on the first floor before you start walking around to look at work because it does take a while to get a turn to.

Mohid Shaikh

I am no art expert, so this was an okayish place for me. However, the art pieces are no traditional ones. These are made my artists who are battling mental issues like schizophrenia. Some of the art were a bit scary to see. Makes us wonder what they go through. The place is huge from the inside. The infinity light room was okayish, was expecting LED screens but oh well.

Arthur T

ive gone to the broad quite a few times now. this time around, got tix to infinity room, wasn't very worth it. i would rate this a 4 or 5 star if it is your first time, but i wouldnt go more than 2-3 times. the main artwork i wanted to see wasn't displayed this time around so it was a bit of a bummer. $17 for valet parking under the museum. can try your luck on the street first. plus is, that tix to the museum are free. if you did want to go to the infinity room, you need to get tix way in advance (certain times they drop). but imo, not worth at all.

Jim Shepherd Jr

Not a huge museum but packed with some awesome works. Free admission by registering online made it a breeze to get in as well. Probably spent about an hour and a half here while viewing with my pregnant wife

Kiersten Armstrong

The Broad is awesome! A lot of large scale paintings and sculptures in an incredible space. The building itself is a piece of art and fine engineering. Make sure you put yourself on the waiting list for the yayoi kusama installation when you arrive. It can be up to a 2 hour wait. We loved the museum and so will you!

Jovy Yung

This is probably one of the best museums I've ever visited. I especially loved Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Yayoi Kusama (Infinity Mirror) pieces!

May L.

Reserve your ticket about 1to 2 month early. It is worth it! They have the special exhibition for Kusama. The infinity mirror room is amazing! Get in the first group in the morning and go sign up for mirror room first thing you enter the lobby.

Yan Teor

If you're looking for a good way to start your morning then definetly go there! Make sure to reserve your tickets a few weeks earlier other wise you will not be able to visit the museum. The day of your visit, make sure to arrive at least 45 minutes priore the opening in order to be the first. You definetly want to be the first since you'll have the chance to see and experience the room of lights.

Curious Life

Good place to spend time with family talking about arts. Easy parking museum vadilates 3 hrs of parking for $15. Beautiful architecture!

noel dlp

If you like contemporary art, this is a good place to visit. MOCA is also across the street.

Regulus Riddle

Can’t believe this place is a private property, it’s amazing! Moreover, it’s free!!! It includes so many modern art master pieces. The only thing I regret about is not to see it even earlier. (Also, the building itself is very pretty designed as well!) This is one of the best parts in our LA trip.

Helder Toste

Wonderful museum for anyone remotely skeptical about contemporary art. Lots of great pieces from a variety of contemporary art sub genres and you can’t beat the admission price. Do book ahead for a reservation slot if not shoot for mid afternoon for the shortest line!

Lizette Mineo

Very nice place; general admission is relegated to the 3rd floor and the rotating exhibits like the bathroom infinity room is a separate admission. We had a very nice visit!

Magali Kelfkens

Great to spend a couple of hours and admire some famous contemporary works of art. Love the space and architecture. Reserve online and go early to avoid crowds. Parking costs 15usd for 3hrs after museum validation.

Liz Sal

If you're on a budget and are looking for a museum to take someone on a date. Go to the Broad. Totally free, they have great art and 2 amazing exhibitions by the very talented Yayoi Kusama. Do not leave without having checked her installations out. Going into the infinity mirror room is like a dream. Before beginning to check out the museum make sure you sign yourself up for the waiting list for the infinity room which is on the lower entrance level of the museum. You can then explore the museum and wait to he called for the exhibition. The wait however long is definitely worth it. I give it 5 stars for awesome art and a great exhibition.

Chris Ginnaven

Had a great time yesterday touring the new Soul of a Nation display at The Broad Museum in downtown LA. This display is not a part of the permanent collection so get there soon!

Varsha Neelakantan

Well it is free and the infinity mirror is here so definitely visit this place! Can easily spend an hour here, however getting access to the infinity mirror room may take time and you get only seconds inside the room. So practice your perfect mirror selfie angles before you go! :P

Loaay Wattad

Great exhibitions! Very interesting and overwhelming. Really enjoyed!

Jose Arnold Tariga

A nice place to visit if you like to check contemporary art. Location is also very accessible and staff are friendly.

C Gerard Smith

Very interesting and vibrant collection of contemporary art. The bathrooms are super clean too.

Ralph Knauth

Very cool stuff. And it's free❤️

A B

Parking fees are 15$ (ask for a validation ticket in the museum) Informations wasn’t clear. The infinity mirror has to be booked inside of the museum. After 20min of waiting to book, the machine tells us to wait 2HOURS to have the chance to enter. But thanks to the poor organisation we managed to go inside the mirror room 30min later.

Andrea Franco

FAVORITE ART MUSEUM IN LA !! My review might be slightly biased but this place is amazing. Not only does have WIDE VARIETY of interesting art but it’s also affordable and conveniently located. While inside it feels really RELAXED, unlike other museums that make you feel stiff while looking around. 10/10 recommend.

Borys Boyko

This is a great place to spend an hour or so. A docent mentioned to us that the museum treats its staff very well with respect to the benefits that it provides, which was great to hear.

Lee Munson

My favorite contemporary art museum by a private collector. The architecture alone is worth the visit. I’m 1983 Eli and Edyth Broad traded a Van Gogh drawing for a Robert Rauschenberg painting - and from there started one of the best contemporary art collections in the world. Don’t forget to visit MOCA across the street. Pro tip: pack a lunch and eat it at the grassy park next door. Reserve your tickets online and don’t come late.

Fawad Shaiq

It was cool, I'm not a huge art person, but there was enough variety to keep me interested. We spent just over an hour there and that was enough to see everything in the free permanent exhibition. You have to pay to see the special exhibits. Also, as soon as you enter go to the tablet on the left and sign up for a slot to visit the infinity room. Our wait time was 1.5 hours so we had to wait a bit after we saw the rest of the museum to go in. If you get there earlier in the day the wait isn't as bad for the infinity room.

Arale

love it! it is free to see general collection n $18 for Takashi Murakami collection. Great experience. things to watch in n out

Beverly Fan

It's a free museum full of great art. If you are here for the infinity mirror exhibition, make sure to read the instructions online to line up the smart way. Also during the wait, you can leave the museum or go do other things in the city.

AJit Gaikwad

If you are fan of contemporary art, then you must go there. Otherwise you may not understand importance of the art work what these guys have. I am not a fan of contemporary art but it's a good one time visit in LA downtown. Also make sure to book a ticket which is free but they will allow limited people to enter at a certain time slot. So check ticket booking prior to visit otherwise you may have to wait for half an hour to one hour.

Kerry Delf

Outstanding collection in a stunning space. Entry is free, but due to its popularity it's best to plan ahead. Advance tickets are available online but get snapped up a month in advance. There is also a drop-in standby line, but wait times can be 2 hours or more, mostly without shade. Without advance tickets in hand, we had success by watching The Broad's twitter feed for a time when the standby line was short, dropping out plans and running across town, resulting in a wait of less than 40 minutes. If there are special entry viewings, be sure to sign up as soon as you walk in the door, as wait times can be long for those as well. It's worth the wait.

Corina Santana Hernandez

Free General Entrance ... Parking is about $15 for 3 hrs with museum validation and $5 for each additional 15 mins (with a daily max of $25) or after 5pm and all weekends it is a flare rate if $15.

Chun-Chih Hu

Modern art and installations that are easily digestible. Wait for the infinity room is about 2-3 hours and it is a spectacular experience; I suggest you ditch the snapchat, Instagram and whatever social media things and just experience it completely as you should for an installation. If you arrive earlish, park at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Alan Guerra

It is an excellent museum and an excellent place that you must go in Los Angeles, first of all is free, it is actualized, clean and very amazing, I recomend this museum for persons of any age, remember is FREE and a must of LA.

PVCHEX

5stars says enough. Do not hesitate to come and take your time and enjoy all the contemporary art that is here. I brought my 7yr old daughter and she loved it and wants to come back.

WICK G. (WickInLA)

A museum with an interesting collection of contemporary art. Some are quite elaborate and even huge. The cyclops is massive. See photo. It's free to enter. Do plan to stand in line with a reservation.

Lisa Raufman

I am not really into modern art but the docent was wonderful and made art seem relevant! However, the Infinity exhibit was the most fascinating (see you he bright red and green photos for a glimpse.)

modern dinosaur

A big collection of Roy Lichtenstein, Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Wayne Diep

It's an art museum. Its clean, patrons are usually respectful. Good place to go if you enjoy art, or want to take pictures for IG.

Allison Warhol

Big museum of contemporary art, it houes a really well curated collection (well it could add more Andy Warhol pieces 😉). Spacious and with a great architecture, it is crowded all day so you better make your reservation online (even with that reservation we had to wait like 20 minutes to be able to enter). The entrance is free and you can visit both of Yayoi Kusama's "infinity mirror rooms" (one is located in the first floor and the other in the third floor), but you need to register for your turn in the kiosk near the entrance, they will ask for your name and a mobile phone number so they can send you a message when it's your turn to visit the room, they are pretty cool, especially the "infinity mirrored room: the souls of millions of Years Away", located in the first floor. In all the galleries are many "museum associates" and you can ask them about the pieces to learn more, they seemed friendly and with a great knowledge about them. Lastly the parking is a bit expensive $15 dollars for 3 hours with museum validation or $25 all day, the people working there is very nice.

Parker Green

First off, let me start by saying that I think it's great that general admission to this museum is free. I think it's wonderful that they are trying to spur the public's interest in artwork and make it more accessible to people. I almost rated it higher for that reason, but it still just simply doesn't make up for its lackluster size and unimpressive galleries. I believe that its free admission has made this place extremely overhyped, I doubt very many people would want to pay a price to visit this museum if there was a charge, and certainly wouldn't return. Even on an off day like when I visited, the wait was very long to get in, and there was no tickets available for the Infinity Mirror Room, which you can only reserve tickets for inside of the museum. Quite inconvenient. As for the galleries, they were very small. There were a few interesting pieces, such as the giant table. I was rather unimpressed with the rest of what was available for viewing. It took no time at all to see everything that there was to see. It was quite disappointing after the long wait. I don't think I'll back.

2anamaly

Amazing collection of art. I can't believe there is no admission fee. It makes me happy that this makes art is accessible to everyone

Wolf Herrera

We arrived almost half an hour before our 11:45am timed entry but were allowed to enter right after checking in. The line for entry was much longer when we exited.

Heinrich H

this place was a pretty cool art gallery with some more modern art than other places i've been. some of the art was explicit, but only enough to make a point, and a couple pieces had flashing lights.

Margot LaNoue

Lovely collection of modern, post-modern, and contemporary art. Free general admission, but tickets must be reserved on the first day of the previous month for the best chance to get in on your preferred day.

Matthew

It's free admission but you still need to reserve your tickets. Really cool artwork and we ended up spending hours inside. I will definitely come back again

Connor Mooney

There doesn't seem to have been any thought to acoustics, this place can get LOUD. It's not great when you can't hear an artist's video because of all the echoing voices from other areas.

Robert Emond

Very nice pop art museum.
