The Broad wheelchair accessibility

The Broad sits at 221 South Grand Avenue, on Bunker Hill in downtown LA. Walt Disney Concert Hall is directly opposite and the Music Center sits one block north. Metro B Line and D Line subway both serve Civic Center / Grand Park station, a step-free walk of about ten minutes.

By car, the museum's own underground garage at 221 South Grand Avenue has accessible spaces on P1 for placard or plate holders. Surface kerb cuts on Grand Avenue allow easy drop-off from a ride-share if the garage is full.

The Grand Avenue entrance is the main visitor door. The lobby is on one level with the ticket scan point, coat check and the wheelchair-loan station. Free general-admission tickets can be reserved online to lock in a timed entry; walk-up tickets are issued in a standby queue that runs longest at weekend afternoons.

The lobby ramp also leads to the bookshop and the cafe Otium next door. Both are step-free from the lobby exit. Staff at the ticket desk can advise on the quickest route up to the third-floor galleries.

The third-floor gallery floor holds the permanent collection of contemporary art (Koons, Kruger, Warhol, Basquiat, Sherman and others). The floor is step-free with wide gallery openings. Benches sit in most rooms for rest stops between works.

Special exhibitions occupy the first-floor galleries. Both floors include ASL interpreter tours and visual description tours, available on request through the museum's accessibility programmes. Large-print gallery notes are kept at the information desk free of charge.

Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room is a separate timed reservation, free with general admission. Visitors enter a dark enclosed space through a door that closes during the one-minute experience. Visitors may exit before the minute ends if needed.

Wheelchair users can enter the room; the space accommodates a standard manual chair turning radius. If the closed door or darkness is a concern, the staff can hold the door open and the show can be cut short on request. The room has a separate standby line in the lobby.

Reserve the timed-entry ticket online before arrival. The standby queue at weekends can run 60 to 90 minutes. The Infinity Mirrored Room is the single biggest draw and the slowest queue; reserving it ahead is the only way to avoid the wait.

Pair The Broad with Walt Disney Concert Hall (opposite) and a downtown lunch. The Bunker Hill stretch of Grand Avenue is one of the most accessible-sidewalk areas of downtown, with wide kerb cuts and short blocks.
