After months of waiting, I was fortunate enough to finally visit The Broad Museum with my sisters Ale and Sarah while I was in LA last December. The Broad was one of those places that I kept enviously seeing pop up all over my Facebook and Instagram feeds since it first opened its doors back in September of last year, which is why I was so anxious to visit. The new contemporary art museum, located in Downtown Los Angeles, includes two floors filled with a wide and notable selection of contemporary art, making it a lovely addition to L.A.’s already amazing art scene. Even more exciting is that admission to the museum is free to the public, so all you have to do is make sure you reserve your tickets ahead of time to avoid waiting for hours in the long standby line.

Although it was The Broad’s amazing art collection that first inspired me to visit, I was equally impressed by the design of the space. As if the white honeycomb-like exterior of The Broad weren’t gorgeous enough,  the interior design of the building is also very interesting. The curved cement walls give visitors the sense that they’re walking through a cave. There are also windows located throughout the building, allowing visitors to peek into the museum’s art vaults.

As soon as we stepped through the doors of the museum, Ale, Sarah and I ran straight to artist Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Infinity Mirrored Room’ instillation. You have to make a reservation to go in and the wait can take a while, but it is definitely worth it. Besides having the opportunity to take a very awesome Instagram-worthy picture, the instillation is pretty breathtaking. The surrounding mirrors and water create the appearance that you’re floating on air and surrounded by never-ending light, which makes for a very unique experience if you ask me.
