The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Downtown Los Angeles on Grand Avenue, named for Eli and Edythe Broad and opened in 2015 as the home of their collection. After other sites were considered, Eli Broad chose downtown in 2010 under a 99-year lease. Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro with collaborators, the $140 million building is known for its "veil and the vault" concept, with a porous exterior and an inner storage core. Its holdings include nearly 2,000 postwar and contemporary works by about 200 artists, and it quickly became one of Los Angeles's most visited museums. An expansion announced in 2024 aims to add more gallery space before the 2028 Summer Olympics.
