With in-depth features of 64 singular institutions, Also On View: Unique and Unexpected Museums of Greater Los Angeles celebrates LA’s most fascinating and underappreciated collections, from the deeply culturally significant—such as the Garifuna Museum—to the highly specific and unusual, like the City of Los Angeles’s Streetlight Museum. There are more than 750 museums in the greater Los Angeles area, many of which lie beyond the beaten path and may not be familiar to even the most seasoned explorers. With striking photographs and a staggering range of critical, curious, and incredible histories, Also On View presents an unparalleled survey of all the diversity and wonder that Los Angeles has to offer.
