The Broad Will Expand, Adding More Gallery Space to Display Its Growing Collection
THE DESIGN BY DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO OFFERS THE PUBLIC ENTIRELY NEW MUSEUM EXPERIENCES
Joanne Heyler, Founding Director of The Broad, today announced plans for an expansion that will build upon the success of The Broad’s first decade by providing enhanced public access to the growing collection, extend The Broad’s standard-setting visitor engagement, and make possible deeper offerings in live programming. Founded in 2015 with a mandate from philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad to build a large audience for contemporary art, the museum has far exceeded its own projections, having welcomed more than 5.5 million visitors to date and now regularly attracting nearly four times more visitors than originally envisioned.
