How lucky are we that the Broad<\/a> has not one but\u00a0two\u00a0of the late Yayoi Kusama\u2019s reflective Infinity Mirror Rooms?\u00a0And that they\u2019re both free to see<\/a>? But with the Downtown L.A.<\/a> museum\u2019s expansion\u2014add that to the list of things\u00a0we\u2019ll soon be lucky to have\u2014currently under construction, the smaller of those two installations will be taken off view for the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

Longing for Eternity, Kusama\u2019s 2017 box-like structure that allows visitors to poke their heads through portholes and into a colorful, seemingly endless mirrored expanse of sometimes-flashing LEDs, will remain on display in the museum\u2019s third-floor galleries until September 20. After that, it\u2019ll be temporarily taken off view until the museum\u2019s expansion opens in 2028, ahead of the Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0thankfully, the Broad\u2019s signature Kusama piece, the twinkly Infinity Mirrored Room\u2014The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away will still remain on view. That step-in installation on the ground floor will continue to be viewable with a free general admission ticket and a timed reservation. (Longing for Eternity, by comparison, is viewable via a first-come, first-served line in the eastern corner of the museum\u2019s top floor.)<\/p>\n

The Broad is currently embarking on an expansion project<\/a> that\u2019ll add three floors of new gallery space and two open-air courtyards on the Hope Street\u2013facing side of the block. Construction began in 2025 and topped out this spring<\/a>, and the museum expects for visitors to fill the new space before the Olympics in the summer of 2028.<\/p>\n

The Broad has bid a temporary farewell to a few other pieces lately too\u2014including large works from Jeff Koons, Julie Mehretu and Mark Bradford\u2014but the Kusama one is arguably the most popular piece so far. The museum is currently keeping tabs on these \u201clast looks\u201d on their Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you plan on visiting this weekend, it\u2019s easiest to secure a timed ticket<\/a> to the Broad\u2019s free collections; otherwise, you\u2019re always welcome to try just walking up. If you don\u2019t mind spending some cash ($21), consider a ticket for the special exhibition\u00a0\u201cYoko Ono: Music of the Mind,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0a highly participatory retrospective of the inimitable artist, musician and activist; that show runs until October 11.<\/p>\n
