Hot Opening for Broad Museum

Even the scorching temperatures Sunday couldn’t keep droves of people from waiting in line to see billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad’s $140-million Broad Museum on its opening day, the Los Angeles Times reports. While Broad employees gave cold water and sunscreen to thousands of museum-goers standing in the heat, they seemed to enjoy the sights when they finally stepped inside. Takashi Murakami’s 82-foot-long mural “In the Land of the Dead, Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow,” was a crowd favorite.
