The Broad Museum: Infinity Mirror & MOCA

Step Into Infinity: A Day Trip to The Broad and MOCA

Begin in downtown Los Angeles with a visit to Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, two of the world’s most celebrated immersive installations. In The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, step into a darkened chamber lined with mirrors and filled with suspended LED lights twinkling like distant stars. Reflected endlessly in every direction, the light field creates a breathtaking sense of cosmic vastness. Kusama’s use of mirrors, water, and luminous orbs transform the room into a space that dissolves boundaries and evokes themes of eternity and transcendence. Next, encounter Kusama’s Longing for Eternity, a hexagonal chamber in which a boundless repeating network of vibrant color-shifting LEDs is viewable through porthole-like windows. The mirrored interior multiplies dazzling patterns into a kaleidoscope appearing to stretch beyond physical limits.

After the extraordinary experience of Kusama’s work, continue into the rest of The Broad, a 120,000-square-foot architectural landmark known for its honeycomb “veil” exterior and airy, column-free galleries. The museum houses an exceptional collection of postwar and contemporary art, offering expansive exhibits of iconic paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media from the 1950s to the present. Find major pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, Kara Walker, Roy Lichtenstein, and countless others. Take your time exploring the dynamic, ever-evolving galleries at your own pace.

The Broad’s special exhibition Robert Therrien: This Is a Story presents a comprehensive look at the late artist’s five decades of work, bringing together over 120 sculptures, drawings, and archival materials revealing his lifelong fascination with transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary, dreamlike experiences. Known for monumentalizing the familiar—most famously in his towering Under the Table (1994)—Therrien plays with scale, memory, and the surreal, inviting viewers to inhabit a world where domestic forms become immersive landscapes. By including rarely-seen works, studio materials, and thematic groupings that trace his evolution, the exhibition not only highlights Therrien’s playful yet precise visual language but also underscores his significance as a Los Angeles–based artist.

Following your visit to The Broad, you’ll have lunch on your own at Grand Central Market, a lively downtown gathering place just minutes away. The historic food hall features a wide range of local vendors offering everything from gourmet tacos and ramen to fresh pastries and specialty coffee.

Your final stop is the Geffen Contemporary at Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) located nearby. The Geffen at MOCA presents an influential collection of works and innovative exhibitions that showcase groundbreaking artists and movements from the mid-20^th century to today.

MONUMENTS at the Geffen at MOCA is a powerful exhibition that gathers decommissioned public monuments (many of them Confederate statues) and places them in direct conversation with newly commissioned contemporary artworks. By relocating these once-public symbols of authority into the museum space, the exhibit invites visitors to reconsider how history is constructed, whose stories are elevated, and how monuments shape collective memory. In transforming monuments of power into catalysts for dialogue and reckoning, the Geffen at MOCA reframes the conversation around public memory, historical accountability, and the possibility of repair. The museum’s focus on experimentation and diverse artistic voices offers a powerful companion experience to The Broad.
