The museum has rotating exhibits, but its centerpiece is an elaborate model of a Wegmans grocery store, sponsored by Wegmans, which is owned by the Wegmans family, which is the area’s sole billion-dollar dynasty. On the underdeveloped side of the Genesee River, next to the bus station, sits the “National Museum of Play,” an odd institution founded by Margaret Woodbury Strong - a Rochester native who inherited millions of dollars and used it to collect thousands of dolls.
Rochester, New York, is a notorious model of terrible urban planning and idiotic corporate sponsorship.
