One of the best places in the country to see contemporary photography, Pier 24 provides a quiet, contemplative environment for viewing photographic works—the massive space is free but open by appointment only, which keeps attendance small at any given time. The giant venue houses the permanent collection of the Pilara Foundation, and offers exhibitions, publications and public programs, as well as self-guided two-hour tours that last up to two hours. Call to set up your appointment in advance, and prepare to be awed by over 4,000 works spanning the history and international breadth of photographic art.
