Also on View: Unique and Unexpected Museums of Greater Los Angeles shines a light on an incredible wealth of stories that lie just beyond the well-beaten path.

The Museum of Jurassic Technology. The African American Miniatures Museum. The Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. The First Original McDonalds Museum. Also On View: Unique and Unexpected Museums of Greater Los Angeles celebrates L.A.'s most fascinating and unexpected small collections, from the deeply culturally significant such as the Garifuna Museum to the highly unique and unusual, like the City of Los Angeles's Streetlight Museum. There are more than 650 museums in the greater Los Angeles area, many of which exist in shopping malls, storefronts, and back rooms. Some are even itinerant, housed in vans and wagons that travel around the city. Also On View showcases the critical and curious histories of these small collections, not as a guidebook but as a visual treasury of all the diversity and wonder that Los Angeles has to offer.

Industry Reviews

As the Director of Special Projects for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, Todd Lerew has long been immersed in the art of curating dynamic exhibitions and programs for the Los Angeles Public Library. Now, he's turning that same keen curatorial eye to the city's most extraordinary yet sometimes hidden treasures — its museums. In Also On View: Unique and Unexpected Museums of Greater Los Angeles, Lerew invites readers on a journey through LA’s most captivating, often overlooked collections from the culturally rich Garifuna Museum to the delightfully niche Streetlight Museum. For those who love to wander through the corridors of culture and history, this book is an essential guide to the vibrant and wonderfully eclectic museum landscape that makes Los Angeles truly one-of-a-kind.
