Super fun! An extremely accessible but also provocative collection of modern and postmodern works and home of some of the coolest elevator and escalator rides in downtown Los Angeles. Enjoy.

Show up before 9, have 1 in your party queue in standby line and the rest walk across the street to explore the hidden Blue Ribbon garden behind Disney Hall while you wait.

The permanente collection from 2nd floor is pretty amazing, well curated and well presented. went here for the new Oracle exhibition .

Aldous Noah

One of the best museums in Los Angeles! and it’s free! Sign-up in advance on their website!

Alex Wrecks

The infinity mirrored room is a must! They only allow two people at the most and only 45 seconds. Overall an amazing collection of modern art .

eric bornemann

Eclectic big name permanent contemporary collection. The special exhibits (in particular Soul of a Nation) are great. Cool building both on inside and outside. Be sure to eat at Otium when visiting.

Infinity Mirrored Room -The Souls of Millions Light Years Away- is a must see @ The Broad! It’s a quick 45 sec visit, but immersive enough to experience. Go to iPad kiosk to join the virtual queue.

Stephen Sheppard

The Broad Museum is fantastic. Housed in an architecturally stunning building, with a collection of contemporary art that knocked my socks off! Even better, the admission price for this gem is FREE.

Los Angeles’ newest contemporary art museum , The Broad (rhymes with “road ”), houses Eli and Edythe Broad’s formerly private collection of over 2,000 works of modern art from the 1950s to present day. Read more

I am in awe of how unique and well designed this museum is. I loved visiting, even though I waited 45 minutes to get in and didn't see the infinity mirror installation. Fantastic collection ????????????????

Jennifer Haack

Very cool contemporary museum that gets a bit overlooked. Definitely worth checking out and highly recommend. They have some Warhols and Lichtenbergs!

Zara Khan

Yayoi kusama , Jeff Koonz, Andy Warhol amongst the many great legends! What a great museum ! Not to be missed at all.

AMW

New (and free!) contemporary art museum across from MOCA Grand. Get up close + personal w/ works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Barbara Kruger.

Diego Romero

A must in LA. An easy to cover in under 2 hours great architecture and modern art collection .

Connie Chiu

Pure stunners. Amazing architecture . Love the Ferguson police in charcoal piece. Love the music room on the first floor. Just love this museum .

David Holtz

Arrive ~30 minutes before opening and wait in the standby line for the special exhibit . For $12 you get to see the special exhibit , wait in the shade, and you'll be able to get into the infinity room .

Marc-alain Spruch

Magnificient Building, great choice and large variety of contemporary masterpieces. Try booking your ticket in advance to not have to wait in line

Jonathan Wells

Got a sneak peek when we visited for Sky Lit. If the exhibitions live up to the space, this will be a great addition to LA's museums .

Bee Williams

A lot of interesting pieces here. I'm glad I got to experience! Buy your tickets ahead of time if they're not sold out! If you don't arrive early so you get a good spot in line .

Joseph Blant

Amazing place to visit and make unique photos. You can enjoy all the beauty of the modern art , which became absolutely different from everything that has ever existed before.

Mariana VF

Amazing architecture ! Try to make reservation in advance, otherwise, be ready to wait more than an hour to enter. It's worth it, tho.

Melissa Mandelbaum

Amazing museum . Make sure to reserve a ticket ahead of time. Without a reservation , the wait is 3+ hours long.

Abraham Morales

This a fantastic contemporary art collection . Witness some key pieces of art history in person. They're amazing. I loved the Murakami Room.

Fodor's Travel

As of 3/17/18, a second Kusama Infinity Mirror Room - “Longing For Eternity” has been added, plan accordingly.

Natalia Kataoka

Nice collection and free. To avoid waiting in loooooong lines , arrive before it opens.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Love it. Great building and wonderful collection of art .

Miles Ng

One of the nicest museums I've ever been. It's quite small but houses really great artists : Kusama , Murakami, Sherman, Warhol, Koons etc ????????

Mollie M

If you like art museums , you'll love The Broad. It's new, beautiful, and having its moment.

Jocelyn

I went on a weekend and the line wrapped around and down the street, surprisingly it only took about 15 minutes to get through and for a free museum it was well worth the wait.

Kirsten Alana

Really pay attention to the curves and lines of the museum itself. It’s as good as the art within it!

Lailanie Gadia

Make sure to get in line about an hour before opening if you don't reserve tickets. Make sure to get tickets to the Infinity Room once you enter the museum .

Matt Longstaff

A strong selection of contemporary works in an interesting space. Pre-booking is really recommended as the lines can get really long but that does mean the interior isn't overcrowded

Haesung Kim

Reserve tickets ahead! Nice museum for free. You can catch the mirror room if you are lucky

Ananda Mitchell

Great museum ! Check out the infinity room . Make sure to check out both floors!

Soledat Torres

Free museum , be sure to be at least at 11 when the museum opens, so you can get a ticket for the infinity room , hope to be there next time

Gregory Fisher

Sign up for the Infinity room the moment you’re in the lobby and even so, you might as well leave for a coffee at some point while waiting

Lee Simpson

My favorite museum in LA and probably one of the most well curated collections of post-war modern art you’ll find.

Agatha Yu

Stunning architecture . The way the light leeks in from the veil and the oculus window is ????????

AD Nys

Ask Otium about walk in lunch reservations while your friend waits in the standby queue.

Anderson Vankayala

Get your tickets online and skip the line .

Thea B

A great selection of works on view . There was enough to see without feeling overwhelmed for me. Kusama 's Infinity Mirrored Room is amazing!

Tinah Chen

Definitely a free museum worth checking out, I'd recommend making an appointment for the infinity room though, didn't get to see it while I was there.

fanny freeman

Great collection, great design , free entry, try to take the metro do you save $20 parking !

Ryan Patrick

A museum that feels like it's full of contemporary art 's greatest hits. Be sure to take a peep into the vault on the second floor.

Chris Go

Tickets for following month released at noon on the first of each month. Sign up for an account beforehand - it's required even for free tickets.

Noricorn 123

It's awesome but the infinity room should be open to anyone who is in the museum you have to reserve to go????

Yan Long Zhang

If you're in the area and remotely like art , please come here. You'll thank me later. Tip: reserve ahead of time and save hours waiting.

"The Visitors" on the first floor would be easy to walk right past. Don't do that.
