The Broad is notable for its extensive collection—one of the world’s leading postwar and contemporary art collections—and its architecture. Designed by architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler, the building has a bright metallic honeycomb-like perforated exterior, contrasting with the adjacent Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall. Architecture-focused Downtown Los Angeles walking tours can fill you in on the building’s concept and design.
The three-story museum has 50,000 square feet (4,600 square meters) of exhibition space covering two floors. The museum offers a free mobile museum guide (no download required), including free audio tours, family activities, and artwork details.
