Instagram API: /locations/location-id/media/recent returns empty result

I always get empty JSON response by 

https://api.instagram.com/v1/locations/LOCATION-ID/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

e.g. api.instagram.com/v1/locations/140831586/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN, which is for Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

The JSON Response: 

{"pagination":{},"meta":{"code":200},"data":[]}

I tried some other location IDs, all of the results were empty too.
Any suggestions?

NOTE:
My access_token is generaged in Sandbox mode with 

&scope=basic+public_content+follower_list+comments+relationships+likes. It works fine for location search "/locations/search?lat=40.761397&lng=73.976986&distance=5000&access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN"

I get empty data as well and I have public_content permission. But when using following console: https://apigee.com/console/instagram I get the recent media for specific location. Nothing mentioned in documentation for Instagram API sandbox mode but I think you need a live app (although in sandbox mode all features should be available)

Update: You can get media using app in Sandbox mode, but only media uploaded from the Sandbox Users are displayed.
