Timelapse video shows construction of The Broad in downtown Los Angeles

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The new $140 million, pop-art styled Broad museum in downtown Los Angeles will be home to nearly 2,000 works of art which were collected by Eli and Edythe Broad over the past 50 years.

The collection of postwar and contemporary art is being housed in a three-story building that defies convention and is an artwork in itself.
