The Broad (/broʊd/) is a contemporary art museum on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. The museum is named for philanthropist Eli Broad, who financed the $140 million building which houses the Broad art collections. The museum offers free general admission to its permanent collection galleries. It opened on September 20, 2015.
Since 2008, Eli Broad and the Broad Art Foundation had been considering different sites for a museum for the art collection. In November 2008, the news surfaced that Broad had approached Beverly Hills about building his museum at the southeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. In January 2010, he revealed that he was considering a 10-acre parcel on the campus of West Los Angeles College in Culver City. Meanwhile, in March 2010, the Santa Monica City Council approved an agreement in principle to lease the city-owned 2.5-acre parcel next to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to Eli Broad for $1 a year for 99 years while also contributing $1 million toward design costs. Broad would have paid the rest, an estimated $50 million to $70 million.
In August 2010, Eli Broad announced formally that he would build a museum in Downtown Los Angeles. He agreed to pay $7.7 million for a 99-year lease. Officially characterized as a grant, the money subsidized affordable-housing units at The Emerson, a high-rise residential tower next to the museum. The agreement also includes an $8.5-million government share of the cost of the museum's outdoor plaza and government payments of up to $30 million to reimburse Broad for building the museum's underground parking garage. Under that buy-back provision, the garage eventually will be government-owned.
In an invited architectural competition for the project in 2010, six architects were asked to present preliminary designs. They included Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and his firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture; Swiss pair Herzog & de Meuron; Christian de Portzamparc from Paris; Japanese duo Ryue Nishizawa and Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA; and Diller Scofidio + Renfro from New York. Diller Scofidio + Renfro were eventually chosen by Broad to design the approximately 120,000-square-foot museum, which includes exhibition space, offices and a parking garage.
In February 2015, Eli and Edythe Broad hosted a public preview of the new building, attracting some 3,500 visitors.
The museum was opened by Broad and his wife on September 20, 2015. Celebrities in attendence included Bill Clinton, Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Perry, Heidi Klum, and Larry King, among others.

Amazing Los Angeles, California Travel Guide - Must-See Attractions
The list of things to do in Los Angeles is as long as the city is vast. If your time in town is limited, you could spend days in the city's essential museums alone and never even make your way to Hollywood. Expect to put in a few miles between beaching it in Santa Monica and exploring Silver Lake, but that's the great thing about this city: there are so many things to do and see, like the ones listed below, to get the most from your LA getaway.
Get active on Venice Beach
Venice Beach has long been known as the kooky epicenter of California, and while it gets more than a fair share of mainstream tourists, the area nurtures its eccentric spirit. Though Abbot Kinney has turned into a posh, high-end 'hood, the boardwalk has stayed a great place for people watching, with skateboarders, radical pamphleteers and body builders. Go for lunch at the local Figtree's Café before scanning the shelves at Small World Books. The bohemian district is welcoming to all walks of life.
See the sights of Hollywood
Hollywood celebrities are never far away in LA. To catch a glimpse of stardust, stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where more than 2,400 figures from the entertainment world are immortalized in pink terrazzo with symbolic gold lettering. If you're a film buff, look out for the famous hand and footprints at the Chinese Theatre. Countless premieres and galas have passed through, adding to the renowned pagoda's star quality. It may not all be as glitzy as you imagined, but Hollywood still has its charms.
Study big-budget masterpieces
The Getty Center is the envy of museums worldwide for its generous endowments—and its killer hilltop campus. Although it doesn't match the rich collections of Old World galleries, it has some impressive works covering a vast sweep of history. Among them are several paintings by Rubens and a sprinkling of Impressionists, including Monet, Renoir, Cézanne and Van Gogh. The French decorative arts and an expanding photography collection are definitely worth visiting. And don't forget to hunt out Miró and Moore in the fine sculpture garden.
Shop in style on Rodeo Drive
Many people dream of being Julia Roberts shopping on Rodeo Drive, but few can afford to buy from the array of high-end designers seen in the film Pretty Woman. So window-shopping is the order of the day. Along the $200-million ersatz European cobbled walkway Two Rodeo, browsing tourists mingle with serious spenders. A hop away is Anderson Court, which is the only shopping mall designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Take a walking tour
Take a fuel-efficient walking tour and cherish Los Angeles' urban architectural heritage. The Los Angeles Conservancy walking tours take in the city's top sights and most beautiful buildings, from Downtown's historic theaters and Art Deco buildings (on a weekly basis) to the modern skyline tour (bi-monthly). Be sure to reserve a place well ahead, because the tours are incredibly popular.
Squeeze in the Jurassic experience
Despite the misleading name, this pseudo-scientific nook has nothing to do with Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. The Museum of Jurassic Technology is home to a repository of curiosities: scientific wonders include a bat that can fly through walls and artistic miracles such as impossibly tiny sculptures. The institute is an intriguing combination of fact and fiction, and much more exciting than chasing CGI dinosaurs.
Marvel at Los Angeles' Museum Row
The collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA, are housed in a vast 20-acre complex of buildings, expertly renovated in 2008 with more redesigns on the way. The focal point is the BP Grand Entrance, which includes the stunning installation of Chris Burden's Urban Light. The Broad Contemporary Art Museum is home to a dazzling selection of modern works. LACMA sits just across the street from the Petersen Automotive Museum and the Craft & Folk Art Museum, as well as the under-construction Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
Wise up at the Griffith Observatory
You could happily spend a few hours browsing around the Griffith Observatory, even though you can't see much through the giant telescope. There's the popular Hall of the Sky and Hall of the Eye, a pair of complementary displays that explores the connections between people and space. The star attraction is the building itself and its stunning view of the city from Griffith Park.
Get animated with Mickey and Minnie
You're never too old for Disneyland. This legendary theme park is packed with cool things to do, spread over seven lands and the adjacent California Adventure. After brushing up on a few essential Disneyland tips, stroll down Main Street USA to experience turn-of-the 19th century America, head Westwards at Frontierland and tune into the music of New Orleans square, minus the floods and booze. Great rides include the stomach-churning Space Mountain and the epic Indiana Jones Adventure.

The 24th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture (FPAC) will be celebrated on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at El Pueblo de Los Angeles and will feature contemporary and traditional Filipino food, music, dance, crafts and culture. The festival, the City of Los Angeles' Filipino American Event, is the longest-running Filipino cultural celebration in Southern California.
This year’s theme for the City of Los Angeles' Filipino American Event is “Balik tanaw, Pananaw bukas” a Tagalog phrase meaning “looking back, moving forward.” While rooted in the native tongue of the motherland, this year’s theme celebrates the rich experiences of being Filipino American. As a community we honor the culture paved by our ancestors, and move forward with a grateful understanding of our Filipino American history. This is the spirit that keeps FPAC going, largely sustained by the dedicated audiences that return to the fest every year.
