I had a chance to spend a few hours at the Metropolitan Museum while staying in NYC over the weekend, among other things was able to see two shows of LF interest that are running currently.
The Carleton Watkins show features a generous selection of mammoth plate prints of Yosemite from his 1861 and 1865-66 series, on loan from the collection of the Stanford University Libraries:

The Thomas Struth show is a once-over-lightly survey of his career, with representative examples of the various phases of his work:

Both shows are on the whole quite viewer-friendly, with lighting sufficient to see everything clearly and good access to inspect details closely.
