Great museum with awesome gardens. Lots of history of Rochester here.
The changing exhibits make ti a place you should visit several times a year-so become a member! You'll get discounts on the movies too.
Shannon EalyOctober 23, 2011The gift shop in Mr. Eastman's mansion abode has a classic feel, with a well-chosen selection of DVDs, books and photo prints.- If you become a member you can go on the upstairs downstairs tour & see things not open to the public. They have great photo exhibits & movies in the Dryden Theatre too.

Museu incrível para os que têm interesse por fotografia. As exposições temporárias e o acervo permanente são muito bons. Os tours pela mansão e jardins do museu tb são recomendados.
