Beautiful place. A must if youre in the area

I am straddling the fence on this one. The building itself is an interesting piece of sculpture, but it is an art museum. I have only been once, so my opinion can change if several visits offer well showcased art. The odd angles and sharp aspects seem to make it difficult to display many art forms, especially something like a painting. I appreciated the changing galleries and the entry experience. I would offer the opinion that is clashes with much of the rest of campus. I believe it is definitely worthy of a visit, even if you find the building detracting from the other art presented.

Beautiful building with thoughtfully designed and very creative architecture. Admission is free. There are several smaller galleries that appear to change out art on a regular basis. We spent about an hour here. After the art museum we went to the MSU Dairy Store (in Anthony Hall) to get ice cream. These places made for a nice excursion with two teenagers.

I am so glad we have a museum like th in ower town

Nice University universal art museum with indie feel. Be sure to check out the active maker space across the street.

Beautiful, small contemporary art museum. Small gift shop and cafe. Really enjoyed the international exhibit from the Middle East. Located in the middle of a busy college campus.

Its art, ok? You just wouldnt get it.This enormous modern architectural eye sore is placed right in the middle of old campus completely ruining the aesthetic of its surroundings.Conveniently placed next to the RCAH (Residential College for Air Heads) it is home to a revolving exhibit of modern art masterpieces like a lone chair placed in the middle of an empty room.This is the sort of building I would only wish upon my most detested enemy.

Plovely place to spend 3 hours. Take a free guided tour... Definitely worth it.

Really enjoyed our visit! Lots to see and many of the exhibits were interactive. There was a robot that you could text to control, we got a kick out of that! There is a small cafe inside. Great place to visit while on campus.

We overcame the lack of exterior beauty hoping for something good inside, but were utterly disappointed. A small and uninteresting temporary exhibit, stairs going up displaying a mature content sign. I inquired and was told there is NO permanent collection. Best they could do for us was to point to a glass window through which we could glimpse at the archived items. I wonder about alumni wanting to revisit the classic works from the old museum of their college days. In other college towns we have lived. we enjoyed taking kids and company to look at art and history from each state, along with interesting perdocidcal special exhibits. Utterly disappointed.

Great museum to go to in Michigan if youre a fan of design. The museum was designed by Zaha Hadid, so I drove a couple of hours just to see it. The architecture and design of the building is awesome in person. Im not a huge fan of modern art, so the art displays were a miss for me. I did like the overall experience though.

Modern and creatively designed building with abstract art that some probably wont understand (including myself), but still worth a quick visit every once in a while to see whats new

Great spot to take a break and clear your mind and a v nice Starbucks location to work from if you’re in this area of campus.

Different kind of museum. Liked it. Mainly the rainbow like things are so nice.

Amazing collection and curatorial space for the contemporary art. It’s nice to see young artists and artworks from other than mainstream arts and cultures.

While the museum was definitely worth a visit, the location is quite small. If youre looking for something to occupy a short visit and you are already in the area it is definitely worth the trip.

Really well designed and laid out museum. An incredible resource for the community. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable and cheerful.Even if modern art isnt your thing, this place is well worth a visit.

Im so glad that MSU has this museum. Even if youre not interested in the art it can be a great place to hang out and study.

While I have never been to the museum, I have driven by it numerous times and each time, I shake my head and think how this building does not belong on the campus of Michigan State University. I have lived in the area my whole life and graduated from MSU. To me, the campus is ivy covered halls, not wild, unique architecture. The museum may have good exhibits, but I dont like the building for our campus. If you put the building somewhere else, I may like it a lot more, just not on my campus. Just my two cents worth.

Very cutting edge exhibits. Go with an open mind. Personally, I loved it!

Interesting place to explore, will admit when I went the art was pushing boundries and was definitely not a children facility. YET It does have a kids corner and the exhibits cycle through so be prepared to check whats there before going with teens or younger.

Amazing experience. Interactive exhibits.

While it was clean and free and well attended, the art and the way it was presented felt like it was there to speak down to people, instead of broadening any minds.

This gorgeous building is the perfect place to see amazing modern art. There is a lovely cafe inside and the lowest floor even has a small hands-on exhibit for children. Loved it!

Every time I come here, I am puzzled by the weird and esoteric art. The building architecture is eclectic, but the featured exhibits are almost always something that looks like it belongs in the movie Beatlejuice.

Unique place with a very contemporary feel. the architecture is nice. would like to visit again

Not much to see inside, seems very empty. Definitely a failure for a kids field trip destination.

This place is very interesting and some of the exhibits definitely make you think beyond your own existence.

Inspirational!

Its an interesting architecture. They have good thought provoking installations. But I wish they changed more frequently.

Nice place I go here for the displays at least once or twice a year

Excellent museum for contemporary art and conceptualism lovers! The building itself is fascinating, and the exhibits are thought-provoking and conversation- invoking. Always a pleasure to come here.

I love this museum. When I went it had the most beautiful exhibits with gorgeous abstract and hyper realistic artwork. I would love to come back and visit soon!

Worth the visit. A small museum and the exhibits were very unique you wont see anywhere else and worth the viewing. A very interesting space.

You never know what youre going to see for sure untill you get in there. Always something thought provoking if not inspirational. And its free!

Every time I go, I think Eli Broad for his contribution to the East Lansing community and making this museum available to us. But it seems as if the museum may be losing its way; there was almost no one there on a Saturday afternoon. There are far more docents than public. The art seemed a little thin, and almost if it had to be stretched to cover all the galleries. Still its a nice thing to have the Broad, and I appreciate it.

Staff was unbelievably unfriendly and rude. I have never experienced that type of hostility before.

We were wandering around EL and thought this looked really cool....and it is! Im not sure if its free or not, we just walked in and no one said anything. The art exhibits are very interesting, definitely grab a pamphlet to help you interpret. We got lectured twice while here, and we were being very respectful and quite. Apparently you can only wear your backpack purse on one shoulder or they will yell at you. Made me feel so uncomfortable. Probably wont go back lol

The collection is not very broad and I feel as though there is a lot of wasted space.If youre looking for a wide variety of art then this isnt the place to visit.The inside of the building is worth looking at though. Unfortunately the building itself was the most interesting part.

Everything is amazing here. The art is gorgeous, the building itself is a masterpiece. Plus the staff are charming and kind. I highly recommend this place. Its free and theres a coat check in too!

I am an art lover and consider myself open minded, but this place looks like they went over to the engineering building, rummaged through the basement and tried to fool people by calling some junk “art.” I can’t believe this is the best a Big 10 school can come up with. The building is hideous too. That should have been my first clue. (To be fair: the second floor was inaccessible due to construction. I sincerely hope there is actual art up there!). Otherwise, shame on MSU for allowing this on campus!!!!

Is pretty small, but its pretty! Not a traditional art museum, all the exhibits are modern art and rotate frequently. Its free, the art is engaging; overall a good way to broaden your mind!

The building itself is the most impressive work of art. A good mix of local artists and international visionaries.

Had a good time. Even though I didnt understand everything it was a good time and the volenteers were very informative.

I LOVE art museums and have been to an insane amount, however, I cant stand coming here. The staff make me super uncomfortable and if theyre not loudly chatting among themselves only to get irritated you interrupted them to ask a question about some art, they STARE at you and follow you around (very close) an empty museum. I get that theyre probably college students, but it still ruins the experience for me.

This museum was not the atmosphere I expected. We brought our kids and were followed around to every room and were continually reminded to not touch any thing when the kids had touched a piece of paper and after told once, didn’t touch anything else. Would’ve been better if we weren’t micromanaged during our visit

I love coming to the Broad. You can immerse yourself in some beautiful and interesting art pieces. I never leave disappointed. I love taking my kids, too. If you have little ones, head downstairs to the lower level, there is a really fun kid nook under the stairs.

I love this museum! The unique architecture and fresh art adds an unmatched spice to East Lansing. Not only does it have a maker space across the street, almost continuous events and interactive activities, but its all free of charge! No admission fee, no activities fee or material fee. I often come here just to study and take peaks at the art in between.

This was my first time ever here, it was a very architectural building, geometrically speaking. There was some very interesting and inquisitive pieces to say the least. I found it refreshing to explore the ideas of others. This is a must see if you like art.

I dont know if its just me or not but I just couldnt appreciate the architectural style I like the outside but when I saw the inside was some of the outside I had some reservations

Checking out the architecture of building alone is worth a visit

Small gallery with an interesting collection, the Zaha Hadid building is stunning.

Went to the art museum only to find the building is the only piece of art there. I went with an open mind as an art lover knowing it wasnt going to be my flavor but hardly anything in there and looked more like abandoned science fair remnants. The most peculiar thing was putting the only three paintings that werent interpretive art 10 feet behind a window. They had workers silently sculking around behind us in every room. The only thing worse than the parking was the exhibit. I cant believe the money wasted for this place to be open. A supposed vault full of art and 3 levels of empty walls!

I recommend the personal guided after tour.

Zaha Hadids design. Great guide and intriguing exhibition.

A LOT of empty space inside. Have certainly seen some cool exhibits here, if youre into modern art, you can sometimes land a nice find. Classical fine arts are far more rare.

Displays are to leftist and political. Not captivating or thought provoking. The only interesting thing is the building architecture

Didnt get to see the whole area but want we saw was interesting & the staff there were very nice & helpful

This is not just a museum, its a hub for activities - see the arts lab across the street, and all the family oriented activities. Keep an eye out for the upcoming collaboration with MSU folks for the Fascination of Plants Day, Sat May 18! Must visit!

What words can I use to describe this museum?? Ugly, distopian, disappointing and hideous monstrosity. There is no art in this museum. There is no beauty, only political activism (which has its place in the world but please, dont call it art) and the background music only makes you want to run away.

Bring the kids. Bring the grandkids. Enjoy the experience.

This place is weird. They had a pile of dirt on display and the previous time I came, they had a pile of wood. Waste of my time

Such an amazing and unique museum, they change the art every now and then so there’s always new art.

I love this museum, it’s unique, they change the art every month or so, there’s always something new to see.

Beautiful museum. They shot a Batman movie here once, so that’s pretty cool.

Ya know, the building looks cool, but theres not that much to look at inside it.

The contemporary art exhibits displayed here take a look a the world and reflect current events. The museum also puts on events for people of all ages.

Excellent museum, well worth stopping by (or, as in my case, driving all the way from Ann Arbor on a boring Sunday afternoon). The architecture is amazing, and the exhibitions contained some of the most radical pieces of contemporary art Ive ever seen.

The stairs will give you a scare if you dont like heights.

This is a great new addition to the campus of Michigan State University. I love to talk a walk over to the Broad Art Museum on my lunch breaks and check out what new exhibits they have on display. If it wasnt for the Broad Art Museum I would not be so interested in art! I love seeing what artists are doing from all over the world. Make sure to stop in and enjoy walking around the sleek contemporary building.

The students inside are kind knowledgeable and helpful. That being said the museum itself is terrible. Hardly anything on display. The building itself is worth millions and has tons of space. Why not put more of the students art on display???

Wonderful!

Although I went in not knowing what to expect and with an open mind for modern art I left uneasy and confused. There appeared to be few art pieces and those that existed were at the front door. Other than that it just consisted or a scared-dead cat, and some shoes against a wall.Do not have high expectations for this building.

The Family Day was so much fun! We all had a blast and the assortment of materials and activities was great! Thank you!

The building itself is something of an attraction but unfortunately the actual exhibits inside really arent that interesting. The docents and visitor services folks were kind and attentive, though, and Id recommend visiting their little gift shop. The events are also fairly regular and interesting.

Interesting place. Very focused on green energy and lifestyles.

Stellar experience at the Broad art museum. Neat exhibits, museum is clean and has such a neat construction. The building itself is a work of art.

Cool building. Not sure it its a great exhibit space.

Unique experiences and so great that it is free entry!

Gorgeous museum!Place to hang out and study, grab a coffee. Rotating art, beautiful architecture and ITS FREE (please donate)

Worth a visit when you are in town!

Events are often good. The collection is not especially interesting. The space is really neat to look at, but frankly not particularly well suited for exhibiting art.

While I dont know what they have out of the public eye, what is on display is a very small collection. Furthermore, every item on display was a fine example of modern psuedo-art nonsense. For people who like that kind of thing, its the kind of thing they like. If you want something like the DIA, this place is a complete waste of time.

Its an ok place to visit, the building is quite interesting. If you like unusual architecture, it may be interesting to walk around the building, There are no 90° corners at all. The art is pretty average.

Went for the Warhol exhibit, it was very cool, they had an interactive selfie booth and a few rooms full of his prints plus some student exhibits. Some interactive, work be fun for kids.But, it seems like an unnecessarily large building for the amount of art it actually contains. Its packed with more student workers and security than art exibits.

Definitely something out of my norm, Im no art aficionado, but I really appreciated how everything was set up and how the displays were arranged. The building itself is very unique, and while we were not there more than a day, it seems that the exhibits are updated regularly and feature unique works. Would go again if I was in the area.

This place is more amazing on the outside. Modern art is not my thing, wasnt extremely impressed by piled up wood and rubble Well worth seeing.

Really nice facility with nice art. A little small but most definitely worth the time.

Nice place for a programmer to work

There were some really weird things here. Also, the staff followed me around like I was going to break something.... decent museum though...

If modern art is not for you, then Broad is not for you. . . .The most current art trends in US crumbles here. But its a different genre for many, so beware!!

Its usually very sparse and pretentious, as you might expect. The staff was milling about in a rush and was unaware of my presence as I went through the museum, which was a distraction. I went to a show that was largely video-based and almost every headset was either dead or only worked on one side. While contemporary art is supposed to trigger reactions in people, I think this is quite a waste a resources.

Striking architecture and landscaping outside, and a fine museum experience within. I took a class that met weekly in a conference room and we explored the museum a few times, and Ive been back again to get coffee at the cafe once. The exhibitions in fall 2015 were interesting, and the museums collection is nice as well.

Disappointing. They need better art. Most of it is very dark in theme.

I love it. The exhibits are not the same as those found in traditional art museums

Very interesting art! Nice trip for adults, definitely wouldnt recommend it for young ones.

I was disappointed that most of the building was sparse. It could have used a few more exhibits a classical artwork along with all of contemporary work.

Old historical items and exhibition place in MSU

Not much to see and it was to boring for my hubby and I.

The good museum, i like this, i from Indonesia i have a special artwork to selling here,?you interest?
