 I could not be more elated to be inviting you to bring your entire family and kids to visit my hometown of Los Angeles in the heart of Southern California. After three years of construction and $140 million invested The Broad Museum is set to open to the public this Sunday, September 20th in Downtown L.A. As you can see by the still image from The Broad's Facebook page and the EarthCam video below this is one really beautiful and unique new arty destination that will be on lots of people's itinerary, both the locals and tourists.

About The Broad Museum
The Broad, Los Angeles' newest contemporary art museum, opening September 20, 2015 with free general admission, was built by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. The museum structure -- a work of art in itself -- was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler. The new museum complex houses 2,000 works of art from the Broad collection, considered to be among the most important collections of postwar and contemporary art in the world. Featuring its innovative “veil-and-vault” concept, the building offers two floors of gallery space to showcase The Broad’s comprehensive collection in addition to being home to The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library.

 #ManCave 

 As far back in time as the Stone Age, men have thrived best when they knew they could retreat to man caves, dedicated man-only spaces to hang out with their buddies and to call their own after a long day of hunting and gathering. Today's modern cave men may be living a lifestyle driven by the latest in technology many centuries apart in both years and technological advancements from their forefathers, but they are just as hardworking and their needs and desires for leisure time and private male-only space are still basically the same. That's why it's a good thing men today have the new Man Cave project at Best Buy to inspire them.

I can't imagine a guy, no matter what his interests or lifestyle, that is not going to find something that appeals to him at Best Buy's Man Cave. There's no shortage of cool tech ideas here in the form of articles, videos and before and after footage to transform a special corner, small space, interior room, garage or back guest house into the ultimate Man Cave.

Inspiration at Best Buy's Man Cave

Often men love a good fight and robots are all the rage these days so they're a natural toy choice for Man Caves. Men are just big boys who want to have fun, after all, right? Just imagine how much fun your personal Robot Fight Club could be, complete with prehistoric-inspired app-controlled robots like MiP Robot and MiPosaur. I've seen this brand's robot demonstrated at International CES last year and also at Blogger Bash Sweet Suite in July and think you'll really have a blast with these Bluetooth-enabled robot and dinosaur robots that you drive with your smartphone or tablet, especially if you have a pair of them. 


These really are a hoot, aren't they? Not only can you knock the other guy's robot down, MiP robots can also carry objects so you can bring your arche rival a beer after the battle is over and you have helped him stand up again. This is just one of six ultimate man cave inspirations you'll find at Best Buy, keep reading for ideas on five others.
