Final Weekend for The Broad's Mirrored Chamber

Los Angeles, CA · September 18, 2026

Soundchecks are echoing off the canyon walls at the Hollywood Bowl, signaling a massive transition into late-summer weekend mode. Clear skies and eighty degrees will carry us right through Sunday, so make those patio reservations early.

The Lead

If peering into infinity has been on your to-do list, your window is rapidly shutting. The Broad announced that this weekend marks the final public viewing of Yayoi Kusama’s 2017 peep-in installation, Longing for Eternity, before it is deinstalled and placed in storage until 2028.

The temporary removal accommodates ground preparation for the museum’s 55,000-square-foot wing expansion, protecting the delicate mirrored chamber from heavy construction vibrations. While the museum's larger walk-in Infinity Mirror Room remains open, reservations for the smaller cube have surged. General admission to the Grand Avenue museum remains entirely free, though standby lines are expected to stretch down the block through Sunday evening. Visitors hoping for one last glance should queue up before doors open at 10:00 AM.

Spotlight & Story

Marian Harlow Memorial Grove
- Perched along the Elysian Park West Loop, this quiet ridge sanctuary was started in the early 1970s by neighbor Marian Harlow. Hikers resting at the bench overlook the skyline, rarely realizing that every agave and jade was hand-carried uphill to memorialize departed loved ones.
