About The Broad
The Broad is a private museum of contemporary art in downtown Los Angeles that opened in 2015. The building on Grand Avenue was designed by the New York architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro and sits right next to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The two-story structure houses the extensive private collection of Eli and Edythe Broad, which includes around two thousand works. Visitors can admire contemporary artworks across a large exhibition space and also have access to the lending library of the Broad Art Foundation. The museum is a central hub of the city's art scene and presents its namesakes' significant collection at a world-class level.

A newer contemporary art museum built to house the collection of billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad (pronounced "brode"). Opened in September 2015, the museum has a collection of almost 2,000 pieces of postwar and contemporary art, with some of the most famous names of modernism represented (Warhol, Lichtenstein, etc.). The building is a spectacular example of architecture, with a honeycomb-like exterior and visitors entering the third floor exhibit galleries via tunnels through a concrete "vault" that holds most of the museum's collections.
