I hit up the Beautiful Science: Ideas That Changed The World exhibit at the Huntington Library over the weekend and was blown away by the materials on display (Thomas Edison lightbulbs! Letters from Albert Einstein)
Definitely worth a few visits (if you can overlook the decidedly North American/European bias of the materials presented,) especially on Free Day. I came away with the lesson to never trust a cell phone camera under low-light conditions, but you get the idea...
From the Huntington's website: ""Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World" highlights four areas for visitors to explore: astronomy, natural history, medicine, and light. A gallery on each focuses on the changing role of science over time, particularly the astonishing leaps in imagination made by scientists over the years and the importance of written works in communicating those ideas."
