Thrill or Chill... at The Broad Museum

Although our teens tend to prefer
faster paced family adventures

we still...

introduce our teens
surround our teens
immerse our teens

in the beautiful 

History
Art
Culture

(found abundantly)

right in our
local museums
----------------------------------
"The Family w/Teens"



One of the benefits of visiting is learning
the correct way to pronounce the name

say it with me...
road, toad, Broad

(got it?)

The Broad
Los Angeles, CA



With life moving so quickly,
a museum visit forces us to... 

slow down
learn
appreciate

Want to be brought back down to size?

Simply stand...

Open the world of possibilities by

"It's a way of delving into the past, and reaching
into the future simultaneously. 

The art itself becomes the bridge."
