Culture is about to get a big upgrade in Downtown LA
with the highly anticipated opening of our Brand New
Museum: The Broad.
Advance tickets for The Broad, the new contemporary
art museum in downtown Los Angeles that will open to
the public with free general admission on Sept. 20, will
be available online at thebroad.org beginning Aug.
31, the museum announced today. The Broad also announced its hours of operation and other visitor information.
Founded by philanthropists and longtime collectors
Eli and Edythe Broad and designed by Diller Scofidio
+ Renfro in collaboration with Gensler, the museum
will be home to the nearly 2,000-piece Broad collection and will showcase one of the world’s leading collections of masterworks of postwar and contemporary
art on two floors of galleries.
“Edye and I are delighted to welcome everyone to this
museum, and we are excited to share the contemporary art in our collection with the public,” said Eli Broad.
“We are pleased to offer free general admission so
that affordability isn’t a criteria to see the art. We have
been deeply moved by contemporary art and believe
it inspires creativity and provokes and stimulates lively
conversations. We hope visitors from Los Angeles and
around the country and the world visit and are similarly
enriched by this art.”
Founding Director Joanne Heyler added, “Opening a
new public museum is a rare event and an important
civic responsibility. We can’t wait to welcome the public through our doors and engage them with the collection, in a building that is itself a work of art.”

The Broad will be open to the public six days a week at
the following times: Tuesdays and Wednesdays from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m.
to 8 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Broad will be closed to
