The Broad just dropped a must-see for art lovers and curiosity seekers alike. Robert Therrien: This Is a Story, the most expansive museum show ever dedicated to the late, beloved artist. Running November 22, 2025 through April 5, 2026, the exhibition dives deep into Therrien’s magical universe where everyday objects get blown up, reimagined, and turned into portals of pure wonder.
Exploring Therrien’s World of Scale
If you’ve ever stood under the iconic piece called Under The Table (yes, the giant table that’s basically an instant childhood flashback), you already know Therrien had a thing for scale. But this show takes that idea and turns the volume way up. Expect a stunning display of more than 120 works spanning five decades – from colossal tables, chairs, and dishes to intimate sketches of snowmen, birds, and chapels. It’s a full-on journey through the symbols and images that shaped his imagination.
Rare Works and New Discoveries
What makes this even more special is that many of these pieces have never been shown in a museum before, including works created just before Therrien’s passing in 2019. For fans, it’s a rare chance to trace the evolution of an artist whose playful shifts in scale helped define The Broad’s own identity, and for newcomers, it’s an invitation to step into a world where the familiar becomes extraordinary.
A Beloved Favorite Remains
The fan favorite piece Under The Table is still free with general admission. But Robert Therrien: This Is a Story lets you wander even further into his topsy-turvy world, complete with more towering furniture, oversized plates, and whimsical objects just waiting to transport you back to a younger, wonder-filled version of yourself. Mark your calendars. This is going to be one of L.A.’s defining art moments of the season.
