Finally visited the Broad for the Soul of a Nation exhibit. A bit disappointed that this required "paid" entrance (while others didn't), which I'm sure limited the access for many residents who would have enjoyed this exhibit. It was also scheduled during the summer months, so I imagine that most school groups missed out.

It has a great collection of modern art. If you love pop art and a millenial this would be a gem. Part of me wants to give this 5 stars for all the artwork (plus the different exhibition they have) but the overly zealous staff and difficulty snagging a reservation can ruin a visit. But I will be back. Murakami prints please be mine.

Great museum for Modern Art. Be sure to reserve e tickets to avoid having to wait in a very long line. Busy, but very family friendly, save for one exhibit, which did have a warning posted.

I visited The Broad in 2015 shortly after it opened and again today to see the new "Oracle" exhibit.

As a whole, it is a fantastic collection of postwar and contemporary art. You will see artists from his (and my) generation, including Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Jean-Michele Basquiat, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and more.

The Oracle exhibit explores politics, commerce and culture and its effects of every day experience to global events. Art in the collection includes El Anatsui, Erica Beckman, Mark Bradford, Peter Halley, Sterling Ruby and Terry Winters.

There are many different art styles represented in this collection. It is a perfect opportunity to expose children to art in its many forms. There are paintings, sculpture, interactive video, even large set of table and chairs by Robert Therrien, Under The Table.

Art is quite subjective. I feel this collection is good representation of the culture from which it was created, and charts the changes in our world and culture. There is good portion of photography dedicated to working class, as well as many abstract paintings and modern artists.

My favorites from the collection are Warhols and Raushenbergs because they were ahead of their time when created, asked questions that made you think and mark history for me. The art was conceived and created with materials and techniques that today are created digitally with programs. Additionally, I quite enjoyed El Anatsui and Mark Bradford because the art shows logical thinking and a process of creation from simple concepts.

Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the collection and about Eli Broad. If they don't know they will find someone who does.

I look forward to visiting the museum again when the collections being held in storage are on display. On my first visit I spotted a Picasso and Jackson Pollock in the storage area, which can be seen using stairs to first floor.

Closed on Mondays. Admission to museum is free but you need to make a reservation. A standby option is available with wait times from 1 up to 4 hours depending on day of week and time of day. Plan ahead if you do not make reservation. There are other attractions and restaurants within walking distance of the museum.

Parking is available for $12 for three hours or at California Plaza Garage for $8 with validation.

You may also access the museum using bus or subway, exiting at Civic Center. Just few blocks to walk.

I didn't reserve a place through internet, therefore I walked in pretty early, around 9 o'clock in the morning. I was being admitted around 1015, wonderful experience followed on. It was a beautiful building, exhibition halls were spacious. There were plenty to see indeed, a quick scroll around took me 3 hours, but every sight was memorable.

This is a very popular new museum. On my way to work every day I watched it being built, wondering what it would look like finally. Well, it's very interesting. Try slicing diagonally though a stack of tubes and you'll have the windows of the building. Even during the rainiest days of winter there is a line outside. The exhibits are so interesting. Get your tickets in advance so you can get great deals and beat the lines. Entrance to the gift shop is free at all times. There's plenty of paid parking around. Don't stress about street parking; there are several garages nearby. Enjoy!

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.

Really amazing experience during visiting The Board. As a civil engineer noticed each and every inch used by architecture is hats off .And particularly our guide if i not forgotten John C is really explained with great human touch and personally way in which she treated us and in our personal life too and let me tell The Broad is great in Los Angeles due to such type of great human being once again # hats off to all. And Japanese Millenium lights worth to watch tor 45seconds after a waiting of 4.5hrs.

There was no sense of direction or staff leading us in which way to begin. There approach should be kinder if they need to warn not to get close to the wall, etc. Also, we had a few minutes left from their closing time and they were already not letting us into one of the last rooms. You close at 8pm not at 7:55pm so we shouldn't have to get neglected the chance.

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!

Staff is very annoying. They warned me for having my arm passing the bar as I stand in front of an art work? And leaning a wall on the hall way?! They must be over paid since they are overdoing their job. Art is overrated too. Not happy for wasting my time there

A good museum, but in many respects impressions depend on what kind of exhibition they are. Usually the queue is 40 minutes, admission is free. Tickets must be taken on the site per month. Definitely worth a visit

The collection at the broad is amazing. Definitely worth the wait to get inside and general admission is free. The best time to come is in the morning around 10-10:30 to get in line before the museum opens at 11. Arriving at 10:30 got us in around 11:40. So worth it.

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.

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.

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.

So much great art and free admission if you wait in line. We went mid-week so was very easy to get into. I also love that they allow you to photograph the art. I would highly recommend a visit when in DTLA!

I'm biased but all in all it's a good museum. The 3rd floor is the permanent collection with some well known artist; Warhol, Basquiat, Liechtenstein to name a few. I personally love the left side of the main, 3rd floor gallery. It has more women artist and artist of color.
The first floow is a rotating gallery space that currently holds Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, 1963-1983. An amazing show that's on view till Sep 2019.

Free admission with the reservation of tickets online in advance. Lots of great pieces to view, including immersive exhibits. The mirrored room is a must. Only the first and third levels were open when we went.

I've only been here once but it's a great place and it's FREE!! I did have to reserve about a month or so prior but it was a neat experience. Parking is about $15 though. My favorite exhibit is the infinity room. I was able to go in with my family even if I didn't reserve.

Nice

Cool museum with lots of artwork. The wait time is incredibly long for the mirror room, so make sure to get there early enough and sign up for it first thing. Public entrance is free and doesn t require reservation, but the wait times are usually around 45mins - 1 hour.
