SOLD OUT. The Eastman Museum and Rochester Cocktail Revival present Masquerade in the Mansion, our annual cocktail party held at the historic (and, perhaps, haunted?) home of George Eastman.

Celebrated American film historian David Bordwell will discuss filmmaking in the 1940s, the techniques that became part of our standard film lexicon, and the filmmakers who brought about these changes.

In appreciation of the support from our Corporate Member organizations, employees of member companies receive FREE general museum admission November 1-14, 2019.

Festive displays, live music, family activities, cookies and punch, and a visit with Santa. Bring your cameras.

Cameras designed for and marketed to children have been available since the introduction of commercially manufactured gelatin dry plates in the late 1880s. Simple box camera designs were replaced in the 1930s as plastic molding technology combined with simple optics and easy handling to create enticing, fun cameras. Although the sizes, shapes, and type of media used have changed over the years, the goal of toy cameras has always been the same, to introduce young people to photography.
