It's pronounced 'brode'
It's been years since I last visited LA, so the Broad was new to me: an enormous modern art gallery downtown, with two floors of exhibits and 2,000 pieces in storage, ready to be loaned out around the world.
Our friends in San Diego used to live in Los Angeles and took the opportunity to come back up to the city with us to visit the gallery. On a cool Sunday afternoon in March, the entryway was busy with people, but most of them were queuing for one of Yayoi Kusama's infinity rooms. Upstairs, the bulging, organic concrete shapes give way to light, open galleries: it's the kind of enormous modern building that can hold hundreds of people without much trouble.
