contents We have analyzed in detail the angular polarization properties in the center of mass reference frame of Landau's two-photon spherical states in momentum space. The angular distributions for fixed values of $J$ and $M$ do not depend on the parity but are defined by two different functions of the polar angle between the relative momentum and the quantization axes. The two-photon polarization density matrices are derived for each values of $J$, $M$, and $P$. The linear polarization correlations of individual photons are analyzed in detail. We find, besides the usual correlation laws for $J\geq 2$ in terms of $sin$ and $cos$ of the angle between the orientation of the analyzers, correlations in terms of the sum of the orientation angles of the analyzers.
