George Eastman Museum continues the colorful legacy and tradition of George Eastman, filling the conservatory and palm house with more than 2,000 tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and freesias, in vibrant shades of white, yellow, rosy pink, soft orange, salmon copper, scarlet, plum, lavender and deep blue — the same colors Eastman featured 100 years ago. During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.
