The Broad
Free contemporary art museum downtown known for its honeycomb 'veil' facade and Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirror Rooms.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A free, tightly curated hit of blue-chip contemporary art — Koons, Basquiat, Warhol, and the wildly popular Kusama mirror rooms.
Our read - 02
The catch is access: general admission is free but timed entry books out, and the Infinity Room needs a separate same-day reservation with its own line.
