Tickets For The Broad's Selfie-Ready 'Infinity' Mirror Rooms Go On Sale Friday At Noon
Even if you know nothing about the Broad Museum, you would still likely recognize the expansive, twinkling lights of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away". The installation has been at the downtown museum since it opened in 2015—and it's played an equally pervasive role in L.A.'s collective Instagram feeds.
The museum's Kusama holdings (and Instagram dominance) will soon increase sixfold when the Broad welcomes "Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors," a survey of the artist's work that will run from October 21 to January 1, 2018. The temporary exhibit will feature six (!!!) of Kusama's Infinity Mirror Rooms, and what we can only presume are equally infinite angles to document yourself visiting them.
The exhibit (presented by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution) is making a tour across six venues in North America, and the stop at The Broad will be the only one in California.

Competition for limited entry will likely be fierce ("the popular exhibition has sold out at its previous venues," according to the Broad), so here's what you need to know to snag tix.
All advance tickets will be released September 1 at noon and will be available on the Broad's website. Adult tickets will cost $25 and include access to the entire special exhibition plus general admission to the museum (general admission to the museum is always free, fwiw). Visitors ages 12 and under can enter for free, but must be accompanied by an adult and have a ticket (and only two kids per adult, according to the Broad's website). Tickets are timed-entry every 15 minutes and are non-transferable and non-refundable. A limited number of same-day standby tickets will also be sold for $30.
"Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors" will run from October 21 to January 1, 2018 at The Broad. Tickets go on sale on September 1, 2017 at noon, and will be available on the museum's website. Advanced tickets will be $25 for adults, free for children 12 and under. The tickets will include same-day general admission for The Broad's third-floor galleries. On-site standby tickets will be $30 for adults, free for children 12 and under. The museum is at 221 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles. (213) 232-6200.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
