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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Broad - Yoko Ono exhibit - about mothers - Art Museums Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

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. read more

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! 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 is a contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles. It's free but you do need to make reservations on line.

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 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

**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 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

If you love art, you should definitely check out this museum. I was told these pieces are part of their main collection. The entrance upstairs is free but if you want to go into the infinity room, you need to make a reservation. To our surprise, the room is tiny and you only get 50 seconds in there so make sure your cameras are out and ready to go! Also, no selfie sticks are allowed due to hanging lights and what not. They had some cool pieces inside. You can probably finish the entire thing in an hour or less but super dope to check out with friends. 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

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

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

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

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 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

I've been to The Broad many times now, probably close to ten visits, and somehow it never gets old. This time I was able to see the general collection, the ticketed Robert Therrien: This Is a Story galleries, and finally experience Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room, The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, which I've seen all over social media for years. Even after so many visits, that room still feels magical in person and completely different than seeing it on a screen.

My friend and I decided to go on a museum date to The Broad to see the Takashi Murakami exhibit on display that we saw on social media. The exhibit was small, but each piece was very memorable. It was my first time going to The Broad so we checked out the whole museum. I was very surprised by the limited number of art pieces on display given the museum has three floors. We covered everything in roughly 1 hour. However, general admission is free and the art collections on display are well-curated and thought-provoking. A convenient and attached parking garage is available for a $19 fee, allowing visitors to park and then travel to other parts of Los Angeles for activities such as dinner, without the hassle of securing new parking. I recommend booking tickets ahead of time as you need a timed-entry reservation to guarantee admission. I was unable to get tickets to the Yayoi Kasama's Infinity Mirrors Room even though I looked to book a week in advance. I was able to get general admission tickets only though. read more

Go here anytime you are in LA or even if you live nearby, stop in when you are in DTLA. You do need to book tickets in advance, but The Broad is always free and open to the public.

Don't miss their awesome musuem shop and the Disney Concert Hall next door for their outdoor garden! Parking - you can park at the Grand Central Market and walk up the hill after you get food there, or take the Angel's flight up! They have a garage connected to the Broad as well. read more
