The 120,000-square foot, $140-million building, designed by architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, is now home to 2,000 works of founders Eli and Edythe Broad's collection, which includes contemporary art by a wide-array of world renowned artists. Like a museum mixtape, The Broad is a compendium of contemporary art's greatest hits.
