The George Eastman Museum is in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the
pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent
nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film
archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in
the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and
photographically illustrated books. The historic mansion and gardens provide a glimpse into the
life of one of the greatest American innovators and entertainers in the first decades of the twentieth century.
