I agree with you on that. The Getty exhibits in general are lacking in  
comparison to other major museums. I usually go there because it is a  
pleasant place to walk around and it affords some photographic  
opportunities.

The last photo show I went to was the Robert Frank "The Americans"  
show at MOCA last year.

Just thought I mention the subject exhibit in case anyone is  
interested. I'll probably check it out.
