There are, I think, three terrific photo shows at the Getty - the Weegee and press photography shows mentioned by Richard, and a show of architectural photographer Julius Shulman's work. I especially liked the photo of the Picwood Theater, at Pico and Westwood Blvds in Los Angeles, my neighborhood theater when I was a kid.

Sometimes when I visit the Getty I bring a Rolleiflex, and I hang it off my neck in its original case - it always garners a comment or two.

I didn't see the Shulman exhibit, I wish I'd known it was there. Maybe a return trip is in order. I strongly recommend visiting the Getty to anyone visiting Los Angeles. They have recently re-opened the original museum on the bluff above the Coast Highway. The Getty is at http://www.getty.edu

I assume they have also re-established the "by appointment only" rules?

I used to live just 1/4 mile up the hill from the old Getty, but like many locals, I only visited it twice. If it's too handy, you rationalize that you can go anytime you want...and end up not going much at all!

One of my 'must see's' in London is The Tate, but I don't visit my own museums nearby! <g>

Check the web site for details. The "old" Getty will re-open in January. It requires tickets but they are free. The "new" Getty does not require reservations. Both have on-site parking but its $7.00 cash only. This is not out of line compared to parking at other art museums in the city.
The Getty has a very large collection of photographs and has frequent exhibits of them.
The Huntington also has a large collection of photographs but does not display them so often.
There are many museums and galleries in Los Angeles worth seeing. The Getty, Huntington, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Norton Simon, I am forgetting some but you get the idea.
