Introduction

The George Eastman Museum is the world's oldest photography museum and the former home of Kodak founder George Eastman. The 1905 Georgian Revival mansion preserves the inventor's private spaces for living, entertaining and screening home movies, while its photography and film holdings span two centuries from daguerreotypes to digital. The Dryden Theatre still shows restored film, and the gardens change with the seasons. It is both a temple of technology history and a tangible living fossil of early image culture.
