Los Angeles is home to some very innovative and thought-provoking immersive art experiences, ranging from virtual reality and augmented reality installations to interactive and mixed-reality art. If you are visiting the city or live here, there are several great exhibitions to visit in 2024.
In this blog, I have set out some of the top places to see immersive art in LA. All details are correct at the time of writing, but please check the exhibition websites for current information before your visit.
I have also written blog posts about immersive art in cities such as New York, London, Paris and many others, that you might find useful and interesting.

Yayoi Kusama at The Broad, 221 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012
General Admission is Free
Open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 11am to 5pm, Thursday 11am to 8pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am to 6pm
The Broad is a contemporary art museum located in downtown Los Angeles and is a must for any visit to the city. This art museum opened in 2015, and has become very popular, owing to its striking architecture, spacious galleries and engaging exhibitions and installations.
The Broad has a large collection of artworks to see from over 200 artists, including those by iconic artists, such as, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Roy Lichtenstein.
But, one of the main draws to The Broad are the mind blowing infinity mirror rooms by immersive art pioneer Yayoi Kusama. The Broad has two of Kusama's infinity rooms:
Longing for Eternity (2017), located on the third floor of the museum; and
The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away (2013), located on the first floor. This room has limited capacity, allowing just four visitors at a time.
These rooms are filled with mirrors and LED lights that create an endless, mesmerizing display of reflections.
Whilst these rooms are free to view, they will require a separate ticket reservation.

For something different, we would recommend visiting The Museum of Jurassic Technology, which can be found in Culver City, Los Angeles.
This museum is unlike any other in Los Angeles. As visitors enter the museum, they will encounter a series of dark corridors, each with its own unique exhibits. These exhibits challenge history, science and art and in doing so, you may start to question the lines between reality and fiction. This is a very thought-provoking experience.
