Beautiful modern art museum. Free to the public with some amazing contributions from multiple renowned artist. Definitely worth the visit, even if you don't typically enjoy modern art, or don't know many artists. There are really helpful descriptions next to the paintings and the museum staff are more than happy to talk about the pieces.
The museum itself was great!!! However the staff that's supposed to stand around and watch the art, can get annoying! I asked one of these people a question about an exhibit as I was leaving and he replied with an attitude and said you can't walk around with your water bottle. I clearly was about to exit the building. They need more training with their customer service!
Very interesting contemporary art collection! I reserved my online entry ticket the week before so I could visit while attending a 3 day conference at LA Live down the street. It was a perfect diversion from work. I spent 1.5 hours there and took a tour with a docent learning about different American artists. I highly recommend making time to visit. If you have time, get there early and get in line for the Infinity Mirror exhibit which was at least an additional 1-2 hour wait the weekday I was there.
Beautiful museum. Check the website for current exhibit. There may be times entry for some. Across from Disney enter and up a big hill from the Metro, but worth the climb.
Usually art museums tend to be dark stuffy cold tombs. The Broad is an airy light and refreshing place to see some pretty messed-up stuff. Plenty of disturbing pieces to make up for all the water lilies you've ever seen in your entire life. The Cindy Sherman exhibit was wonderful the museum should consider having some of her stuff on permanent display since she is a local.
Great museum! Make a reservation to avoid crazy lines!
My favorite art museum in LA. The enormous Takashi Murakami mural alone is worth a visit.
It's really an amazing museum with thought provoking pieces by artists from all different backgrounds
The child in all will be amazed. I don't like the "PC" art displays too left of center.
A gorgeous, well thought out museum that truly fails at properly maintaining the crowds and their respect. Despite the advanced reservation ticket system, some areas still felt overwhelming due to the numbers of visitors and their incessant phone use. Numerous times I was pushed or bumped into because someone was just on their phone, taking photos of the art to an obnoxious degree. In the exhibitions that involved video and sound, others would have their flash on, talking loudly, and walking around in front of the art instead of respecting that anyone else was there. I additionally witnessed a couple of tours in which even the guide felt it appropriate to talk loudly about the art in the middle of its execution. There has to be a better system for this, and some accountability for the museum to respect all of its visitors. By the end of my visit I was so disappointed, I really am not sure if I ll ever return.
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!
Good place to visit if you've never been. Same exhibits for a while and the rooms vary but plan to spend about an hour here unless you're waiting for an exhibit
Great museum to visit for tourists and locals alike. Parking is $15 under the building, but if you plan your day right you can park near the Grand Central Market and walk over to the Broad. If you want to go to the infinity room, sign up in the morning, walk around downtown, then come back in an hour or two.
Get the free tickets online to avoid the longer line. You still have to fall in line and make sure it's the right line, unless you don't mind killing time.
Wow, what a great experience. Why I waited this long to visit is beyond me. The one recommendation I have is to make sure you go online and get your tickets first, they are free. If you do not get your tickets before you go you can expect to wait. I can not wait for the next exhibit!!
Awesome awesome museum, small, doable in good amount of time, beautiful
This is a must visit if you are around this part of the city. Visit their site for reservations on special exhibits so that you can experience the whole thing when you get there. They have their own parking lot which is $15 after validation, but we parked down the hill at a local parking lot for $8 all day. Which you should consider if you don't mind walking a bit and if you're also going to the museum of contemporary art across the street, or the Walt Disney concert Hall in the same visit. Plenty to eat around the area, if you don't mind walking to Broadway you can also experience the grand Central market and enjoy all good choices of food there.
Nice modern/contemporary art. Free admission line was 3 people long before rush hour
This museum is wonderful! I am shocked it s actually free. We made reservations 3 weeks in advance since we didn t want to wait in line all day hoping we would get tickets. When we got there we stood in line for about 5 minutes and we were given some rules before we went inside. I wanted to see the Infinity room more than anything since I heard amazing things about it. Once we went inside I checked us in the Kiosk so we could get a place in line for the room. We had to wait an hour and a half before it was our turn. You get only 45 seconds to view the inside and that s it. I was so mesmerized once inside, I wish we could stay in longer! Overall our experience was fantastic. The rest of the museum has a lot of cool contemporary art to view as well.
Small incredible museum. Only thing that bummed me out was the extra reservation you have to make for the Infinity room
I was expecting more, so topicals of modern art and was not a strong collection
Free entrance. Make sure to visit infinity lights. Interesting collection.
The Broad offers a lot for a free contemporary museum. The art isn't too out there either, but still remains diverse from world famous artists. There is a wait to visit, but if you get there early enough prior to when the museum opens, you should have no problems getting in.
One main floor, full of interesting and thought provoking art work. Beautiful stuff, truly.
I usually enjoy myself at The Broad, but my last visit was probably my least favorite experience. Not sure what was the reason for all the added foot traffic, but we didn't really get a chance to experience all of the exhibits because so many people were literally standing in the way, and not moving for others behind them to see. Normally I'm somewhat patient, but I have a short tolerance when it comes to people being intentionally rude. Note to self: go on a weekday when school is in session.
Outstanding modern art museum in DTLA. It should be on your short list of things to see/do in downtown Los Angeles.
the building is an architectural gem in itself, and the artwork on display definitely warrants a visit. do get your tickets online ahead of time. valet parking is $20. one caveat - if you are planning to visit the infinity room, register immediately upon arrival. the wait during our visit was an hour and a half, which is longer than the amount of time you would normally spend viewing the galleries (typically about an hour). you are also permitted only 45 seconds in the infinity room, so if you are planning on photos, have your camera settings all primed before going in. the ground floor gallery also requires separate tickets. overall a great place to visit, but do expect to mill about for some time to see the infinity room (alternatively, be one of the first few guests into the premises when they open).
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.
To be honest. Not that good but since it's free to visit why not go and see...
What you need to know before going to The Broad: 1. The upstairs collection is AMAZING, worth the trip alone. 2. The building is as interesting as the art. 3. Can't beat the price, FREE. 4. The lighting really shines, get it! 5. Plan ahead so you're not stuck in line for hours. 6. The parking situation sucks, but to be expected, it's DTLA.
Really unique selection of large format art pieces of all disciplines. Great building with a fun elevator.
My new favorite contemporary art museum. Just a stunning experience that inspires.
I had no expectations, and it was amazing. I went with my sons age 10 and almost 12 and they loved it too. I would add photos but you really need to see it for yourself. Get "tickets" in advance.
The collection of art is amazing. It's pretty conveniently placed in LA-- there's a lot of bus stops right in front of the museum. Get there early if you're planning on going in the standby line. If you have the time to plan ahead get the reservation tickets available on their website.
Very good museum, it has no cost, if you book you enter without a row and if you do not have to make a small line, there is a Kusama Expo that is filled very much the best thing would be to sign up at the beginning and then see the museum so that it is almost your end turn.
Great place to check out art for free! It's usually fully booked for advance tickets a month or more out, though (you can get general admission tickets for free online). But if you're willing to wait in line in the morning before the museum opens, or are able to visit on a weekday when they are less busy, it's definitely worth it. I'm here today to get standby tickets to the special exhibit ($30 per adult), and I had to arrive 2.5 hours prior to opening to wait in line - even then all the morning tickets were sold out by the time I could purchase a ticket. Still worth it to me!
It's crazy that this place is free. Probably one of the best modern art galleries in the country. Most of the big names are on display and you can find some new favorites while you're there. Just don't be the guy only there for the content, or if you are limit the number of poses so other people can see things too.
We love this type of tour, the Museum did not disappoint. We just thought that there should be more souvenir options in the store.
A beautiful building housing one of the great vanity museums of our time. Always entertaining even for the uninitiated.
Very cool building housing an amazing collection with some real masterpieces. Well worth a visit, especially since it's free!
If you want to enjoy it, then avoid weekends. It gets way too crowded. The waiting time for the mirror room can even be close to 2 hours and can turn out to be frustrating. They have an interesting and unconventional collection of art that is best enjoyed in quietude. Remember to make an online reservation at least 2 weeks to a month in advance. It's free of cost. You can enter without a reservation too but again the waiting time in the queue can get prolonged to even an hour. Those with a reservation do not have to use the queue. This reservation is only for entering the museum. There is no online reservation available for the mirror room - you will be able to register for that after entering the museum. A must visit place if you are in downtown LA!
Great collection. Wish there was more information and insight into the pieces.
A venue worth every minute of your time. Warhol and much more!
I got to the standby line outside the Broad around 9:15, and I was not even the first one in line! The museum opened at 11:00. When I got inside and went to get the ticket to Yahoo's infinity room, my wait was 50 minutes. I put down my first name and my cell number and the system texted me when I was 10 minutes out. The 45 seconds in the Infinity room went by fast! I only blinked my eyes once.. it was a wonderful experience.. Totally worth seeing!
Such an AMAZING museum.... it's free.... just go with your family and you won't be disappointed :D
Been there several times. it's free but you have to boom a ticket ahead of time..which is a good thing. other wise it would her too crowded!
Excellent architecture in Downtown LA! I am not a lover of modern art so I would not give it 5 stars. The bar / restaurant that is behind and outside the museum is also very good. Nice walk to combine with the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is in between.
Beautiful piece of architecture filled with some fascinating art. Everyone will find something they like
Loved the exhibit I saw and the art selection is very fun.
Medium sized gallery (1-2hours to cover) displaying a private collection of blockbuster art. The infinity room was really cool but it's very small(it only fits 2 people) and your time goes so quickly, if you want to go inside you have to arrive early and book in advance. I arrived at 12pm and had to wait just over 5hours for my timeslot. Great place to take friends who aren't super into art because it has a lot of famous people they might recognise. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Super modern museum with beautiful architecture and large collection. Grade 10!!!
It was fun and educational as well. My grandson loved it and he wants to come back again...
Went to see the Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrors. The wait was a bit intense but the museum is neat. It's small, so we were done within 1.5 hours
I was the last person to get in the door on a Sunday evening. What a phenomenal building! I work at the metropolitan Museum of art. And this building and the artwork is stunning.
Excellent museum of contemporary art. Not to be missed...
It was interesting place. Good for family fun day. Parking is $15 and $25 for a day. Free admission.
Art museum in an hour- possible? Don't miss the Broad if you are in LA and if you even have a small amount of appreciation for colours, art work and space for some quirkiness! My favourite piece was a harmony of musical instruments and vocals that they got set-up that was shot in different rooms of the same house at the same time. It was both glorious and made me chuckle. Some of the installations made me wonder if they were taken from the kindergarten art room but then I reminded myself that art starts at school at that very simple age! It was lovely to see people from different countries at this place, all coming together to admire ART.
The art on display is stunning. New and unique art
Great art. Great tour. Got my pictures for Instagram!
One of the best Modern Art Museums! Even with pre-booked tickets you need to get in early to get into the infinity room.
It's a great exhibit. Also, they have free chargers for electric cars in the structure. Loved that.
