I went to The Broad today. I went to see the Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind exhibit. I'd never been to The Broad before, but I was highly impressed by it. I like the inner design of it. I thought it was a bit confusing to navigate, but I felt there were enough staff around for any directions I needed. I liked the merch I saw at the gift shop. I took the train to arrive and leave from The Broad.
I visited The Broad again and saw that their permanent collection has remained mostly the same. It was a little crowded when I went on a Friday with mostly tourists browsing the paintings. The process for obtaining general admission was the same for me as I just had to reserve online. This museum is rather small despite its large exterior, so I'd recommend combining a visit here with The Museum of Contemporary Art across the street if you have time. Currently, there's an opportunity to engage in a wholesome activity outside because of Yoko Ono's "Wish Trees for Los Angeles" installation. You can't miss it because many people have tied their personal wishes on little white paper tags to the branches of the century-old olive trees outside The Broad. Most wishes were written in English, but I also saw some in Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. I'd highly recommend taking the time to read people's wishes and write one of your own. It helped me take time to focus on a few out of many things to feel grateful and hopeful for.
My family and I were first-time visitors to this museum, and we truly enjoyed our visit. First and foremost, admission is free with advanced online reservations required. Parking was $19.00 for the first three hours with validation. The art museum is truly a gem of Los Angeles. It can be challenging to reserve tickets because open time slots fill up quickly, especially during the summer months when many people are on vacation. The artwork on display is mesmerizing, beautiful, and thought-provoking. Personally, I appreciated every single piece of art I observed, as so much work, love, and dedication went into each item on display that one can only wonder what the artists were thinking or feeling as they created their masterpieces. The entire museum is well-maintained, spotless, and fun. Security is extremely important, as evidenced by the many staff members closely monitoring the large crowds around each section of the museum. Staff members are also there to answer any questions. I wish to rerun here very soon with family and friends, as our visit was educational, inspiring, and fun.
My family visited The Broad Museum a couple of days ago, and let me tell you, the exhibits are world class. Even though the museum is free, I suggest getting tickets on line to reserve a timed-entry in advance, It does get crowded. I did notice that there are some exhibits that require a separate paid ticket. Parking was $29 unless validated. Then it dropped down to $19. Definitely worth visiting. You won't be disappointed.
Parking cost $19. I can't believe I have never been here living in LA. This is a really cool art museum. I loved the table and chair set up because as a tall person I have never felt short! The art is interesting. They have multiple different types throughout the museum. Michael Jackson sculpture, the blue, balloon, dog sculpture, the notes to your mom room, the writing in blue room, All very cool. Some of the stuff in here though I just did not want to see....
Highly recommend a visit to the Broad. Weekend parking was easy--there's a flat $10 fee at the Music Center garage directly across from the museum, which was a pleasant surprise after trying the Broads garage which was full. We came specifically for Yoko Ono's exhibit and really enjoyed it. I love how interactive her work is. Art is so much about intention and narrative, and you can feel her lifelong dedication to peace and thoughtful reflection on society throughout the exhibit. The Broad's permanent collection is excellent, and the space itself is open, airy, and very cool. General admission is free (you have to sign up for time slot entrance), but we paid $21 per person for the Yoko Ono exhibit. Once you're in for the special exhibit, you also have access to the museum's general collection on the third floor. Overall, it's a fantastic museum and well worth a visit, whether you're coming for a special exhibition or just to enjoy the Broad's impressive collection.
So my daughter intrigued me with the idea of going to an art museum and what a great day to go during the week on a Thursday. It was not as heavily trafficked like a weekend would be. We definitely left happily inspired and the curators were so helpful with a wealth of knowledge about all the works they had on display and what is coming soon. I feel like I can stare at some of the art for a long time. It's just so interesting. There are popular works like Jeff koons with his balloon looking works and a local talent mark Bradford whose amazing works just hold you there in wonder. There is also the infinity mirror by Yayoi kusama and Takashi murakami's works just to name a few. There is a special exhibition of Yoko Ono called music of the mind. So much to see so please check it out!
One of my favorite museum in Los Angeles. If you are visiting LA for the first time or want to find something free to do, The Broad is definitely a great option! To get tickets, you must book through their website. Usually there are free tickets, but if you want to see their special exhibits you need to pay additional fee. Parking is available in nearby lots for a fee or you can use public transit such as the gold line to drop you off. Great for dates and friends! I wouldn't recommend for kids under 7, since kids like to run around and touch objects. Guards will remind you not to touch art pieces. No flash photography!
Came here with my cute momzy and it made for such a good time. Never done this tourist activity and surprised that we never did even though we are LA residents. Free general admission on a Friday afternoon. Barely any line, but no food or drinks could be brought from outside. Took place on 3rd floor and had different art eras on display, as pictured below. Staff was willing to answer any question and they were readily available throughout the floor. Very clean bathroom with a "wave to open" door entry, which I never seen before. Would rate higher if there were more to the exhibits than just the one floor
5.8.26 Tickets are recommended and can be reserved on their website, though walk-ins are accepted. Options include General Admission or General Admission with access to the Infinity Mirrored Room (reservations for this open the last Wednesday of each month). I mistakenly booked only General Admission and was disappointed to find that the Infinity Room was fully booked at my time slot. General admission includes access to the museum's third-floor galleries. I typically gravitate toward art museums over history or science museums, and this one delivered. The collection features primarily paintings, along with several portraits and sculptures--engaging and thought-provoking throughout. There is a parking garage located beneath the museum. Rates are $19 for the first three hours with museum validation, $7 for each additional 15 minutes, with a $29 daily maximum. There's also a $19 flat rate after 5 pm on weeknights and all day on weekends.
Want your child to appreciate the finer things in life? Start 'em young. This applies to visiting museums so they can learn to view art, take time and learn to be patient, and make an opinion for themselves -- even if it's as simple as "I like it" or "oh, that's weird." Art is subjective and museums are a nice way to engage your child in chats. I've been taking my kiddo to museums like The Broad since he was a baby. Granted, it was easy to do so in a sling. As a toddler -- not so much. But we braved the polka dots together in the Yoyoi Kusama exhibit, me taking very deep, deep breaths every step of the way. However, it was all worth it. Now he's a pro at taking it all in and enjoys museum days with me. And The Broad has become one of our faves in DTLA. It's right next door to the spectacular Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry so you can also have a convo about art & architecture too. General Admission is always free, but you need to reserve tix online on their website. You get to sneak in works from Warhol, Basquiat, Murakami's cheery flowers, Jeff Koon's balloon sculptures, and Barbara Krueger's socially-profound pieces. Kusama's "Infinity Mirrored Room" requires advanced online reservations while her "Longing for Eternity" installation does not. Also, The Broad has a Family Field Day (free admission until 5pm on June 27 & 28). There are other free access times like every Thursday evening from 5 to 8pm when you can see the Yoko Ono exhibit and 3rd floor galleries. Museum is closed on Mondays.
Looking for something fun to do over the weekend? Admission to the Broad is free and Parking is $19. Accessible by the metro, a stroll the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Living in Los Angeles, it's kind of rare to feel like a tourist in your own city. The Broad is a stunning gallery that has amazing pieces on display! We definitely booked tickets for Takashi Murakami and decided to double up on the Infinity Room. It was so fun and please do not sleep on the gift shop. The Takashi pins are nice gifts!
I was upset when Eli Broad decided not to donate his artwork to LACMA for the BCAM building. However, his branching out on his own to build The Broad and make it FREE has made up for it. The artwork that I remember from the BCAM is now here, along with other pieces from the vast Broad collection. You can book free tickets online ahead of time, though there is an additional charge for special exhibits, like the current Yoko Ono one. There are free Thursdays which give you entry to the special exhibits gratis, but you must book those tickets ahead of time. The staff are very friendly and handle the lines professionally. The architecture of the building is very interesting, with a dramatic escalator entry to the second floor to see the collection. You can see artwork from Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Ed Ruscha, Kara Walker and so much more. We rode the Metro here and were able to avoid the expensive parking. Bonus!
A free museum! You can get timed entry to Yayoi Kusama's infinity mirrored room if you book an entry ticket online that includes the infinity room. The infinity room is a room of mirrors and lights that changes colors so it looks like an endless...infinity. If you're not able to get into the infinity room you can still see Kusama's mirrored box, Longing for Eternity. The Broad is a great way to spend a few hours enjoying art. read more

Wow, this place was incredible. I'd been wanting to visit this particular museum for years and it was so worth the wait! There's a parking garage and staff to help you find a spot and direct you up to the museum. Once you get upstairs there's a nice courtyard with trees, some food vendors and the museum is right there. We walked in and the museum staff was right there at the front answering questions and directing you on where to go. I love that admission is free! We had booked our tickets in advance though, to be safe. We had a 12pm slot for the Infinity mirror room and had a little time before it started so we went up to the main level to check out some art really quick. We went back down to stand in line and it moved fairly quickly. You only get 60 seconds in the Infinity mirror room, and there signs and staff letting you know so you can prepare yourself while in line. This exhibit was really cool, I wish we could have gotten more time in there but I'm glad they limit it so everyone can see it. You could spend a while in there, it's so beautiful. The rest of the museum was absolutely incredible. I'd never seen Basquiat in real life. I fell in love with his art. The other artists here were incredible too. I genuinely enjoyed exploring this exhibit and taking in all the art and sights. It was such a fun museum! Unique art, fun installations. I cannot wait to go back soon! read more

Came here because it was free and people said we had to see the museum. Well I can assure you the museum might be free but the parking is another story. Parking was a pain and finally when we found a lot, it was 19 dollars for 3 hours. We walked in and went to the infinity room which was mirrors and lights. Then saw the museum upstairs with a bunch of stuff that didn't impress me. I don't get it? Maybe I'm just not an art person. read more

The Broad museum hosts contemporary art in downtown LA. The Infinity Mirror Room by Yayoi Kusama is a must, as well as other artists like Andy Warhol, Kahinde Wiley, and Jeff Koons, who just happen to all be my favorite contemporary artists. If you want to go in the infinity mirror room note that you must pre-register a spot before attending. I recommend you do this the day before. Overall the museum is small an will take an hour to see everything, but worth a visit as it holds some of the best art from artists of our time. read more

This has to be one of my favorite museums to visit. They have the Yoko Ono exhibit and I went on a Thursday which was free. It was busy but the people were helpful. I was able to see their permanent exhibit too with my ticket. read more
The Broad is a contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles. It's free but you do need to make reservations on line. Parking is available for 19.00 but today is Thursday not sure if the price varies on the weekends. This is our second time visiting it was very nice, not that big, but my teenager enjoyed him self. Very clean, and organized even the bathrooms are pretty:) and not so crowded. So glad we came!! read more
**FAVORITE ART MUSEUM IN LA** This is my go-to museum whenever friends visit from out of town. It's free, visually stunning, and always impresses, even people who don't usually visit museums. PARKING I usually park across the street at the Walt Disney Concert Hall garage (enter on 2nd Street) for flat fee of $10. THE MUSEUM The Broad is one of the best free museums in Los Angeles and a must-visit if you enjoy contemporary art. The collection includes bold, modern works and rotating exhibitions, so every visit feels a little different. One of the biggest highlights is the immersive installations, including Yayoi Kusama's famous Infinity Mirror Rooms. Even if you're not a regular museum-goer, the exhibits are engaging and easy to explore at your own pace. And the building itself is worth the visit. The honeycomb-like exterior design is iconic and looks incredible from every angle, great for photos before or after your visit. OTHER TIPS * Reserve free tickets online in advance when possible. Walk-ins are allowed, but lines can get long on weekends. * Visit earlier in the day if you want smaller crowds and easier access to popular installations. * Plan about 1-2 hours to explore comfortably. * Make it part of a Downtown LA day. Grand Central Market and Walt Disney Concert Hall are both a short walk away. * Check the website for special exhibitions, which may require a paid ticket. OVERALL Thought-provoking art, striking architecture, and free admission make The Broad one of the best cultural experiences in Los Angeles. read more
The amazing art collection is huge in scale and quality. The building itself is artfully designed and accessible. As impressive as the above is I was equally as impressed with the attendees. I have never seen as diverse a crowd of young people at any art museum across the US and much of Europe. From singles and couples to families everyone was enjoying the visual spectacles and taking in art! It gave my soul a much needed boost in confidence for the generations coming up. Here's the "KICKER" entrance is free to the public through the generosity of the Broad family whose desire was and is to make art accessible to the people. AMAZING! read more
The Broad is one of the best museum stops in Downtown LA, especially if you're already exploring Grand Avenue, Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, or Angels Flight. It's located at 221 S. Grand Ave. General admission is free, but I definitely recommend booking timed tickets in advance. Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room requires a separate free timed reservation. The collection is excellent for postwar and contemporary art. Some long-standing highlights include works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Takashi Murakami, and Yayoi Kusama. The security guards/workers were actually engaged in their jobs and protecting the art from patrons who got too close. I've seen many in museums that just sit there and aren't even paying attention. Free admission, a world-class collection, and a great downtown location make it an easy recommendation. read more
The Broad is definitely worth a visit if you're in LA! It's a free museum and it features two Kusama infinity mirror rooms (one of which requires advance tickets), Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons, and Robert Therrien pieces in their collection. If you don't book general admission tickets in advance, there is a standby line where a staff member will help you get situated. Food and drinks are not allowed in the exhibits, but fortunately, there is a complimentary bag check to leave your water bottle or large bags. We booked the Kusama tickets the night before. Tickets were still available same-day, but were a few hours out (walk-ins for the Kusama room are not permitted). The timed tickets are when you can start lining up for the installation. The layout of the museum is spacious and never felt overcrowded. We spent about an hour here. read more
My first time here! I got online and reserved two FREE passes for today. An email came shortly with my tickets . There is a parking structure just before the entrance. ( go down same street as La concert hall parking ) Take your ticket with you to get it validated at a parking machine by the museum exit for a discounted rate ($19 for 3hours). We were advised by the museum staff to start on the 3rd floor unless you have a reservation time for the special exhibits. Impressive collection of contemporary art. We spent about 1 1/2 hours enjoying the Art , some that I recognized and others I did not . I like the larger than life pieces and was happy to see the Balloon dog and Tulips by Jeff Koons. On your way out take time to look at the museum shop. Many unique items for purchase. Remember to validate your parking ticket as you leave. read more

Love that the town has a spot for those searching for contemporary arts...and FOR FREE! Also they typically have seasonal exhibition so there's always different things to see at different times. Murakami one has been my fave so far! Pre-booked tickets and walk-ins both work. read more
It's been a while since I was last at this museum. We had a spare day that was open so what better way than to spend some time walking around and enjoying some art. When you arrive, there's two line upon entrance. One was for reservations while the other was walk in. As we had reservations, it was pretty fast. Once inside, the main exhibit room is up a flight of escalators, the third floor. As you approach the top, you're greeted with the first amazing piece, Jeff Koons tulips. If you know you know, it's just amazing. As that the start of the exhibit, you'll enter through different rooms which houses different artists. Just walking through and seeing all amazing pieces from different artists just gives you that feeling of like wow. I'm looking at some expensive pieces...lol... I don't know how often they change exhibits but you'll see all the classic pieces that calls this place home. They did have a couple of spots that were under renovation for a new exhibit. Of course there's the large scale sculpture tables and chair by Robert Therrien. An amazing piece that gets you under the table, literally. Then you have a massive collection of Jeff Koons with the famous ballon dog and Micheal Jackson and Bubbles. Some other amazing exhibitions includes, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Barbara Kruger, Robert Therrien and Takashi Murakami. Each artist showcases their unique talents. Some pieces are well known that you know who they are just by seeing them. While others are a surprise when finding out who the artist is. This museum showcases some amazing artists. Down stairs you have the famous infinity mirror room. On the main floor is the gift shop which offers loads of amazing gift, art, jewelry, figurines and books for purchase. This museum is a must to check out. It's free but reservations are highly recommended. It's located downtown across the street from the music center and Ahmanson theater. read more

It's the perfect museum to take anyone visiting LA. Get your tickets online and make sure you're planning accordingly. Remember there is traffic in downtown, parking is around $20 for 3 hours and there's a lot of walking so wear comfy shoes. Start here at the broad and walk down the streets to your next stop read more
Such a cool museum in LA. Initially came for just the kusama installations but the rest of the museum is actually pretty cool. Has a decent amount of cool artists and they are planning an expansion in lieu of the Olympics coming. Definitely don't forget to order your tickets online ahead of time for the kusama experience. It's just one room, but it has timed slots for when you can get in line for it. Also they book up really quickly the day of, so try to make your plans ahead of time accordingly. read more
The Broad is always amazing! The exhibits were awesome and the place was packed with art lovers for this beautiful Valentine's Day. I wanted more photos but it was hard to take more with the crowd us. Check it out, I suggest that you make reservations and it's FREE!! read more
The Broad Museum in Downtown Los Angeles is a must-visit attraction. This architectural marvel of a museum offers free admission, but you must book your tickets online in advance to choose your preferred time slot. They also have a special exhibition that incurs a small fee. The museum features an impressive collection of contemporary art, featuring renowned artists like Warhol, Murakami, and Basquiat. Their bookstore is a treasure trove of vibrant and delightful gifts for yourself and your loved ones. It's an excellent place to spend hours exploring and admiring the art. Another exciting aspect is the nearby Walt Disney Museum, which resembles the Getty Museum. It's a fascinating sight to behold as you leave the Broad Museum. read more

Even before I lived in LA, I made sure to visit The Broad at least once a year. It's the best museum on the West Coast in terms of collection quality and overall experience -- and that's coming from someone who visits the de Young Museum a couple of times a year and tends to wander into every gallery along the way. The Infinity Mirror Rooms are an experience in themselves and worth planning around. But my real insider tip is to sign up for a docent-led tour. On our last visit we join a tour and learned not only the history behind the works, but also how to look at them. One piece, for example, is actually meant to be viewed with a camera flash -- something I never would have known otherwise. Free public tours take place every Tuesday and Friday at 3:00 pm, and they add depth to the visit. Beyond the galleries, The Broad functions as an iconic cultural hub. They host after-hours events and community programming -- I once attended a Rio Collection fashion show here, which was a fun celebration of local creativity. They also offer many family-friendly events. A world-class museum that's generous, accessible, and deeply embedded in the cultural life of the city. read more
You gotta visit Visually from the outside and insides it's a very playful place where you see art that pops and feels like you are in a trippy dream It's a fun place to just get lost in and fantasize Next to the Disney music hall and near market lots to do nearby read more
Our favorite U.S. museum! We stop by The Broad most times we're in LA. #1because it's always so cool #2 because it's free. They always feature fun, modern art that can be enjoyed by kids and adults, even if you're not into art. There is a great energy the moment you step into the museum. The space is not as massive as the Getty or LACMA. But within their space, they pack in some choice art work that really captures your attention. We also love their special exhibits. read more
I have come to The Broad several times and each time I'm blown away. It's something about the way this place is designed, so airy and full of light, that keeps me so inspired and excited to come back. I love that little things have changed over the years and I think they have one of the best gift shops. Such cool pieces surround a well thought out flow and that's where I get lost and have the best time here. The Murakami Exhibit has been one of my faves and I can't wait to visit again' read more

A world class museum in the heart of downtown LA. Admission is free but you have to get a reservation online for admission. There are several exhibitions that will blow you away, or make you feel small... Be sure to also get a reservation for the Yayoi Kusama mirror room beforehand or else you will not get in. A great way to spend a few hours in an amazing top class museum. read more

Basquiat! Wwarholll! Lichtenstein! How lovely to see some of my favorite artists work for free! Just reserve your ticket online a few days before. Easy peasy! Disappointed no Calders were in display. Surely one could be on permanent display hanging above, no?But it was still a great day at The Broad. read more
I have been spending more time out in LA and wanted to make the most of it, so I visited this museum as well. The Ads kept popping up in my socials so I decided to rsvp date/time slot. Luckily, the general admission is free but they do offer other art shows for fees. Parking can be a hit or miss, it is better to utilize metered parking spots and pay with the app, FYI. Upon entering, the staff directs you to go up the third floor and start the exhibition. It sure was a busy and crowded Saturday as people were already there and my rsvp was at 1115AM. I was lucky enough to stroll around and get by through the crowds as I enjoyed art to myself. Being there and reflecting through art pieces was very therapeutic for me. In addition, it is also a learning opportunity. I had to see it in person myself "Under The Table" by Robert Therrien, 1194: A gigantic table with chairs. The artist fused his idea with "Alice in Wonderland" concept. He nailed it. Additionally, it is nearly ten feet tall and walking underneath makes you feel like the "small object" Very popular and many were taking photos of it or with it. Browsing around took me to see the famous "Michael Jackson and Bubbles" statue by Jeff Koons. And nearby, was the famous "Balloon Dog" (blue) "Balloon Dog is literal and abstract. When standing close to it, one's own distorted reflection bends around smooth pert curves." So many cool art displays to view in person, I recommend it as a daytrip for anyone who wants to indulge in learning about art. read more

Can someone explain how to get tickets to the Infinity Mirrored Room?
It's on the Broad website ... "Tickets will be released on the last Wednesday of each month at 10…
Do they charge for parking?
Yes, this is according to their website: $17 for 3 hours on weekdays with validation from The Broad…
Hi. Is baby stroller allowed inside the museum?
Yes, stroller allowed inside the museum, but not in the infinity mirror ( separate entrance from the museum) -which you will only get to spend a minute.
Is the william Kentridge art exhibit part of the free Thursday evening? Can i get In without a ticket…
One question at a time Karen.
I'm trying to get tickets for tomorrow (July 21st) but i don't understand the website. It says tickets for tomorrow are "not yet available." Any ideas on what to do?
Call them . They will make the reservation for you . +1 (213) 232-6200.
How much are the tickets?
When we visited recently it was free to get in. It's a great place.
Are there enough parking spaces in the underground parking garage to be able to park on a Friday evening?
Yup plenty of space
How is parking?
Use the parking garage directly underneath the building. It's not cheap, but neither is any of the parking nearby. At least you don't have to walk far.
Are infants allowed?
Yes they are and I do believe that they allow strollers as well.
I have tickets for 5pm on Sunday and didn't realize they close at 6, will they tell us to leave when it closes?
Hello, Kristelle, Since the museum closes at 6 p.m., you and your group will not be able to stay…
Is food and water allowed?
There's no food or water. I had h20 in my front facing backpack. Multiple food options right out front and within close walking distance.
Do the tickets need to match the names on IDS?
I don't think so - if I remember correctly I downloaded their app and just showed the tickets using Apple wallet
Will you be open on St. Patrick's day?
Yes, St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday this year, and we are open from 10 am until 6 pm on Sundays. The only holidays when The Broad is closed are Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. We are open on 4th of July (unless it’s a Monday, when we are…
Visiting during Christmas weekend Friday (pm) - Sunday? What is the best day/time to go and see the Kusama exhibit without waiting hours? There are still reservations available for that weekend so trying to see what day/time would be best. Thanks!
Morning time, as soon as they open.
I'm planning to go on Saturday but was unable to reserve tickets... What time is the best time to start lining up upon their opening time? What's the average wait time if I were to arrive at opening time?
I arrived about 45 minutes before they opened to get in line and I was in the second wave they let in.. so waited about an hour and a half total. If you want to go right when it opens you'll either get there early and wait or arrive at opening time…
Hi. My reservation it's at 12:00 Can I entrance more early? Because I read that there is a lot of people in the waiting line even at 10:00 .
Arriving more than an hour prior is not necessary if you have reservations. The reservation line is much shorter and typically pretty fast because you have a reservation.
If I reserved general admission tickets on a certain day with a certain time, do I have to wait in line or can I just go up to the door?
Itis two lines but if you reserve the tickets defenedly the process is faster. If you want to see the infinity room is down stairs and must reserve the time early is 2 hours wait time
