Sunday, April 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM

The Broad, Los Angeles

Celebrate the closing day of The Broad’s special exhibition, [***Robert Therrien: This is a Story***](https://www.thebroad.org/art/special-exhibitions/robert-therrien-story), by transforming ordinary objects into something new! In connection with Therrien’s work around movement and sculpture, this event also includes four 15-minute performances by [**Bob Baker Marionette Theater**](https://www.thebroad.org/art/special-exhibitions/robert-therrien-story). Don’t miss your chance to feel small like a marionette as you head in to explore the oversized works in Therrien’s exhibition in the museum’s first-floor galleries before it closes. Pop up to the third floor to feel extra mini next to his giant kitchen table and chairs which are always on view. [**Robert Therrien**](https://www.thebroad.org/art/robert-therrien) was a Los Angeles-based artist whose work talks about how we view space, memory, and perception. Turning everyday objects into works of art and making art about them, Therrien invites us to see the familiar with fresh eyes. In his art, the ordinary becomes poetic, offering an opportunity to reflect, remember, and feel present in a specific space and time.   Image credits (L-R): Photo courtesy of Bob Baker Marionette; Photo by Salvador Ceja Garcia; Photo by Josh White / JWPictures.com.
