    This is such a historic museum, everyone in Rochester should stop by at least once in their life. Beautiful house and the gardens are gorgeous in the summer.

    This Museum was home to George Eastman. It’s the world’s oldest photography museum & one of the world’s oldest film archives which was opened to the public in 1949.

    The grounds can be as impressive as the rooms here. Expect to spend some time here, especially in the galleries.

    Love the Colorama exhibit; the Jim Pond photo of the family in the convertible designates the beginning of American family dysfunction.

    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.
