GEORGE EASTMAN MUSEUM

The site houses both a museum and the beautiful home where Kodak's founder, George Eastman, lived and had it built between 1903 and 1905. We start with a visit to the oldest photography museum in the world and the ^3rd largest film archive in the United States. About 4 million objects related to film and photography are kept in these walls. The museum is progressing chronologically, from the invention of photography in the 1830s to the present day. Models of the first invented cameras, almost two hundred years old, are on display. The visit continues in the residence, sumptuous and extravagant, in the image of its owner. Not to be missed, on the first floor, is the small Camera Obscura room, in which you can try out the darkroom principle.
