The Broad museum is a fairly recent addition to the downtown Los Angeles art scene. The Broad (as in Eli Broad, rhymes with “road”) opened in 2015, and admission is free. However, reservations are recommended as the stand-by line looked pretty long. D and I downloaded the museum’s app and we did the kids’ walking tour narrated by LeVar Burton.
I liked this whimsical larger-than-life piece that greets you in the lobby.
Next we went up a long escalator to view the main floors of the museum.
You can not help but smile at the balloon sculptures by Jeff Koons.
Interesting, and somewhat creepy statue of Michael Jackson and his monkey.
This piece was massive and makes you think about everyday life as art.
On our way home we stopped by at the new Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park.

The ordering process is quite something
It is difficult to choose!
We ended up sharing a cubano, a medianoche, a guava roll, mango dessert, a potato ball and two other “balls”, but I cannot remember what they were called. They also gave us a guava cheese roll as a sample!
Happy Father’s Day, D!
