University PlaceMay 19, 2010Definitely an interesting spot to get some history behind the founder of so many successful and inspiring institutions in Rochester, NY! Amazing architecture.
Open the safe upstairs. You never know what u will find. Directions are on the door.
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.
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.

George Eastman MuseumDecember 1, 2012It's the most wonderful time of the year...Gingerbread, Trees and the holiday spirit at the big house!
One of the most awe inspiring places I have ever been...George was an icon

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.
