Slide Nr 14The Broad, USA – Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room is the star attraction at the Broad in Los Angeles. The museum has a special queuing system in place just to deal with the crowds that want to visit the installation, which can only be viewed one visitor at a time. Needless to say, the exhibition Infinity Mirrors, exploring the artist’s work beyond that one piece, is likely to be equally popular.
