Yesterday my husband and I took a drive to Rochester and went to see the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, which we haven't been to for a number of years. In my opinion, this museum is one of our region's treasurers. Eastman's mansion has been restored to it's grandeur and here are changing exhibits in nine galleries throughout the museum and home. There is also a theater here, the Dryden Theater, which shows vintage films.
The exhibit that brought us to Rochester was Colorama, which runs through Oct. 17. This exhibit focuses on the colorama advertisements that were put by Kodak in Grand Central Terminal from 1950 to 1990. It is a really interesting exhibit, which also includes a short video describing how the coloramas were made.
We also went on the guide tour of the house and the guided tour of the garden, which I highly recommend. These tours are included in the cost of admission. Admission is $10 for adults ($9 with AAA discount) It is worth every penny! The museum is open Tues.-Sat 10-5, and Sunday 1-5.
