About George Eastman Museum

The museum opened in 1949 in George Eastman's mansion, built between 1902 and 1905, and is the oldest museum dedicated to photography. Its collections hold more than 400,000 photographs and negatives, 28,000 films and over 16,000 cameras and other pieces of photo and film technology. The 500-seat Dryden Theatre screens films, and the estate is a National Historic Landmark. Adult admission is $23; food and drinks are not allowed in the historic mansion.
