The main lure of the Paley Center, located in a crisp white building by Getty Center architect Richard Meier, is its mind-boggling archive of TV and radio broadcasts dating back to 1918. The Beatles’ US debut on the Ed Sullivan Show? The moon landing? The All in the Family pilot? All here and yours to view without the need to book ahead. The center also hosts regular discussions with the casts of hit TV shows.
