Created in 1984 as a pioneering lending library, The Broad Art Foundation is dedicated to increasing public access to contemporary art through an enterprising loan program. Over the last 31 years, The Broad Art Foundation has made more than 8,500 loans to over 500 museums and galleries around the world. With the goal of making art accessible to the broadest public, The Broad Art Foundation also makes art available from Eli and Edythe Broad’s personal collection, which together with the foundation’s trove amount to one of the most prominent collections of postwar and contemporary art in the world.
