The Broad museum is an incredible venue for modern art, featuring works by renowned artists like Andy Warhol. The museum's stunning exterior and interior design sets high expectations for the exhibits, and it certainly delivers. Even if you're not a fan of modern art, you'll still find enjoyment in the museum. The variety of paintings and sculptures on display are not too abstract, making them easy to understand and appreciate. There are even some masterpieces that will surprise you. It's recommended to make reservations in advance, even though admission is free, to avoid long lines. The museum also offers a complimentary reservation for the famous Infinity Mirror room by Yayoi Kusama. The Broad is not just a museum, it's a landmark. The architecture, gift shop, and art collections are all top-tier. The museum offers both contemporary and traditional art exhibits. If you're interested in visiting the Infinity Mirror room, be sure to reserve tickets well in advance. The museum also gives away free tickets every month, so check their website for more information. The space is well laid out, providing plenty of room for exhibits of all sizes. The staff are diligent in ensuring the art's safety while still allowing visitors to closely admire the details. The collection at The Broad is a great introduction to contemporary art and encompasses a broad range of themes. It's a family-friendly museum with a great collection and friendly staff. The infinity room is particularly loved by children. The lines move quickly, the restrooms are accessible, and there is paid parking available. However, the signage for the parking structure could be improved, and it would be helpful if the museum's website displayed its hours of operation more prominently. Despite these minor issues, the staff are accommodating and helpful. The museum provides a fun and vibrant experience, with something to interest everyone. It's a must-visit, and even if you're not a fan of art, you'll still enjoy your time there. The museum is free, but tickets should be reserved in advance.

It's a great experience for people of all ages and interests. The rooms are spacious, and the pieces are well-organized. The staff inside the museum are friendly and accommodating, although the staff in the store could be friendlier. Overall, The Broad is a fantastic museum that is definitely worth a visit.

We didn’t have tickets for The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, but they kindly let us in as the line was not long. Noticed they have a lot more collections that are not on display. Definitely will return. BTW parking was super easy with the underground parking right below the museum.

Masks were encouraged but not required when we went. No food or beverages allowed. Backpacks need to be worn in front of your body. Some of the art was not kid-friendly, and there are warning signs indicating such. There are restrooms on the second level. You take the escalator up to the third floor and work your way around. You can get a peek at storage while taking the stairs down to the second/first level. Overall, it’s a really fun way to spend a couple of hours to a full day looking at an eclectic mix of art.

Time in the room is very limited, only 1 minute per group which is far from enough time to fully absorb the wonder of it all. Following the delight of the infinity room we explored the third floor gallery, home to such greats as Liechtenstein and Warhol. As with most art, some was very appealing, some appalling, and some awesome. One room was adults only due to the graphic nature of the art, mostly depicting people of color.
