The Monterey Museum of Art is the only location for the exhibition of a private collection of photographs. Called “In Celebration of Light” the exhibition has over 100 photographs from masters such as Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Edward Steichen, Edward Weston, Diane Arbus, Robert Mapplethorpe, Imogen Cunningham, Alfred Stieglitz and many others. The exhibit runs through May 7.
