Do not visit this museum if your primary interest is photography. While the museum’s collection may be one of the best in the world, almost none of it is on display. On my visit, Ansel Adams, Dorothe… Full review by 885douglasj

The mansion is closed for construction and the main gallery in the museum is closed. They should be charging half price or less for seeing a minimal amount of exhibitions. Save your money and go anot… Full review by shirleyg99
I would like to know if the Eastman home is open year round and if the hours are the same year round? What are the hours? Do you need to make reservations for the home tour? -Candice Kaelber

I see others answered your questions. I would like to add that they have a nice cafe that's open when the museum is open.
How long should we allow to tour the mansion, museum & gardens?

Strathallan (Doubletree Inn) is closest, and is a very fine boutique style hotel with an excellent restaurant. Another two blocks down East Avenue is the East Avenue Inn 384. It was opened in the 60's as a Treadway Inn, but was totally renovated two years ago to first-rate standards. It also has an excellent restaurant called City Grill at East and Alexander St. which has become an upscale "watering hole" for the 30-50 set. I think someone mentioned the Edward Harris House B&B. I've not been there but know who the owners are and it must be another first-rate place to stay. Finally, you will have a wonderful visit to the George Eastman House. It's amazing.

Not for the museum, but if you want to go to a lecture/presentation or a movie at the Dryden Theater (which is contained within the museum), you probably should purchase them ahead of time to ensure they are not sold out. Note: you do NOT need to purchase a museum ticket in order to go to the Dryden. They are separate tickets. :-)
