Logic question....

There are 3 boxes of photgraphs marked Mountains, Rivers and Downtown skylines. The only problem is, they are all mismarked. What is the least number of boxes you have to look into, to know which box has what type of photographs in it? And why, of course.

Jim one box... only...


if all the boxes are mis marked, the remaining two will be the exact opposite of its marking of the two left.
