Who’s been to this unique free museum in la?! ✨

If you’re in Los Angeles, you gotta checkout the Broad Museum.

It’s free to get in. You do need reservations, but I showed up without one and they let me quickly do it on my phone!📲

If you’re interested, they do have a special exhibit that requires you purchase a ticket, but the majority of the museum is free. It’s also right next to the Disney Concert Hall so if you plan right, you can knock out a few activities in one day. I’d also recommend getting lunch at San Laurel - a beautiful rooftop restaurant located across the street at the Conrad Hotel! If you go let me know what you think!

2025/6/25 Edited to

The Broad Museum is renowned for its impressive collection of contemporary art and distinct architectural design. With works by famous artists such as Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons, it's a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. Besides the free general admission, the museum regularly hosts special exhibitions that showcase unique themes and artists, often requiring a separate ticket. Make sure to check the museum's official website for the latest updates on exhibits and reservations. When visiting, you’ll appreciate the museum's proximity to the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall, making it easy to combine your visit with a performance or concert. After exploring the fascinating art displays, unwind at San Laurel, the stunning rooftop restaurant offering breathtaking views and delicious cuisine. It’s the perfect way to cap off your cultural day in downtown Los Angeles.
