Annual Report 2006

The Museum of Science sits at a pivotal moment: Extraordinary successes of the

past year were signposts to its future as the science and technology center of the 21st

century. We will achieve this goal through four strategic initiatives, or “pillars.” We will

enhance our core exhibits and programs, illuminate the life sciences—the theme of

this report—champion engineering and technological literacy, and ultimately renew

our physical presence.

The institution’s financial strength is a result of the year’s banner achievements.

Most notably, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, developed with Lucasfilm

Ltd., our first major interactive exhibit to incorporate engineering lessons, garnered

critical acclaim. Actor Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) emceed its gala premiere, with special

guest George Lucas and catering by Wolfgang Puck. Last year, over 1.6 million visitors

experienced the Museum, while Star Wars attracted record crowds and beat attendance

projections by 23 percent.

Treasured in Boston, the Museum is also respected nationwide for its visitor

experience and accessibility. As partners joined us, we forged ahead with our strategic

initiatives. The National Center for Technological Literacy® is working with 28 states

to introduce engineering into schools and lifelong learning centers. Rhode Island

Governor Donald Carcieri calls our efforts the “beginning of a movement to breathe

new life” into math and science education.

Meanwhile, we made strides in life science education. A major gift from Genzyme

Corporation established the Genzyme Biotechnology Education Initiative. Through

the Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs, we are enriching

our nearly 30 adult-learning programs. In addition, a Hayden Foundation grant will

enable us to acquire the latest Zeiss Starmaster projector, providing a cutting-edge

planetarium experience.

As we gained momentum in fulfilling our strategic vision, we established the

Chairman’s Circle to recognize the Museum’s most generous benefactors, such as

charter members Sophia and Bernard M. Gordon, whose leadership and vision enrich

lives and advance the Museum of Science. The Gordons’ gift endowing the Museum’s

engineering initiatives opens a new door to inspire tomorrow’s engineering leaders.

Last year saw definitive steps towards the Museum’s transformation from a beloved

local landmark to a national leader in science and technology education—thanks

to the critical support of our partners and benefactors. This book is a tribute to our

continuing work together.

Life science research is changing our lives.

New knowledge influences our decisions,

fuels discourse, and drives societal change.

In response to the dramatic growth in the

bioscience world, the Museum of Science

is expanding its focus on life science and

the technology behind it. We are creating new, permanent exhibits and programs

as well as strengthening the presence of the life sciences in temporary exhibits,

Omni films, forums, and other formats. This life science initiative also reflects the

Museum’s championship of technological literacy across America by incorporating

cutting-edge technology into interactive exhibits and programs at the Museum and

in classrooms. By expanding our engagement with life science and technology, the

Museum honors its past as a natural history museum while connecting to the future

through technological innovation. Our goal is to create the science and technology

center of the 21st century. People will make that happen, and we are fortunate to

have knowledgeable, dedicated experts and deeply committed donors who bring

compelling and innovative exhibits and programs in life science to the Museum. We

hope you will enjoy meeting a few of them in the following pages.

Back to Our Roots

As adults, we may marvel, but see little mystery in the reproductive process. It’s tempting, therefore, to

imagine children as the primary beneficiaries of the Museum’s exhibit How Your Life Began. Of course,

children have learned “where babies come from” at the Museum of Science for more than a generation. The

exhibit displays detailed, human-scale models of male and female internal reproductive organs, as well as

each stage of a fetus’s development inside a woman’s body. Yet the exhibit is equally valuable to adults. Instead

of getting answers, they find questions. For instance, one section raises the implications of new technologies

like genetic testing of the unborn. Are medical

breakthroughs necessarily good? Should I use

technology just because it’s available?

How Your Life Began immerses the visitor,

conveying information both in narrative form

and through its environment. With dimmed

lighting and a circular path from one stage

to the next, the physical format suggests

the inside of a womb. It is among the most

life-affirming exhibits in the Museum.

Bill Schawbel and Judy Samelson

Bill Schawbel, a leader in bringing innovative products to market, and his wife, Judy Samelson, an inventor and designer, understand philanthropy. They serve on the boards of 20 charitable organizations, including the Museum. “We appreciate how the Museum of Science promotes and fosters creativity and innovation. As a result, we have made a substantial philanthropic investment to support it,” they say. Schawbel and Samelson are charter members of the Chairman’s Circle.

Power to the People

Exhibits content developer Maureen McConnell likes to

think big. “I’ve always looked for jobs where I could have

wider influence on the public,” she says. The zoologist

heads the Museum’s participation in the National Center

for BioBlitzes. In a BioBlitz, scientists and other citizens

gather to take rapid inventory of plants and animals living

in a given habitat in, say, 24 hours. “My interest is in

empowering citizens to gather and use scientific data for

their own purposes,” she says.

Bunny Watson, curator of the Live Animal Center, oversees

a collection of some 120 animals of 50 species. She also

chose her career at the Museum in order to connect with

others. A certified veterinary technician, Watson previously

worked in a veterinary hospital emergency room. It

saddened her that “almost all the conditions that come into

the emergency room were preventable.”

“It comes down to education,” she says. “At the Museum,

we have the opportunity to educate people about the living

relationship between humans and nature.”

Cutting-edge exhibits and programs are not the only reason that the Museum is a recognized leader in science and technology education in K-12 classrooms and museums nationwide. Julie and Bayard Henry know that constant evaluation to measure effectiveness and relevance is equally critical to success. Their recent gift established the Julie and Bayard Henry Fund for Research and Evaluation. “This fund will enable the Museum to be a national leader in the evaluation of exhibits and programs, not just in their development,” says Julie. The Henrys are charter members of the Chairman’s Circle.

Henri Termeer

Henri Termeer is renowned in the business world for his contributions to the biotechnology industry. Under his leadership as president, chairman, and CEO, the Genzyme Corporation made the largest gift in its 25-year history to create the Genzyme Biotechnology Education Initiative. The donation is also the largest single corporate gift in the Museum’s 175-year history. “We have always valued our long-standing relationship with the Museum,” says Henri. “This gift is in keeping with our mutual commitments to promote and support science education locally and globally.” Genzyme is a corporate charter member of the Chairman’s Circle.

“The Museum helps create excitement about the promise of biotechnology.”

Henri Termeer CEO, Genzyme

Interactivity is a major reason. For instance, individuals

can control the speed as they view three-dimensional

movies created from CT-scan images connected in a

series. They can also play Radiologist for a Day, making

a diagnosis based on their examination of x-rays, CT

scans, and PET scans.

Beyond the X-Ray shows how far medical-imaging

technologies have come. A 1993 exhibit asks us

to contemplate the outer limits of biotechnology

knowledge. Frontiers of Biotechnology illustrates

biotech’s role in our lives, from the mundane

(environmentally friendly denim) to the heroic (quests

for cures for debilitating disorders).

Wright Lecture series launches with Origins of Evolution

Lighting a Spark

As program manager of The Human Body

Connection, archaeologist Tim Kardatzke

oversees one of the Museum’s most

popular venues. The interactive exhibit

addresses questions from visitors about

anatomy, physiology, evolution, medicine,

and medical technology. One interactive

feature is the chance for visitors to

collect and analyze data about themselves

through surveys on various topics.

“We have a curiosity about ourselves,” he

says, “that we can use as a hook to draw

our visitors in for deeper learning.” That

hook is a key indicator of the Museum’s

success for Paul Fontaine, vice president,

programs. “If the Museum of Science

does two things, we’re successful,” says

the 21-year Museum veteran and college

biology lecturer. “First: help people see

their world differently. Second: light a

spark in people.”

That spark of imagination and excitement,

which has influenced many career choices,

is in turn Fontaine’s own inspiration. “It’s

what keeps me coming back,” he says.

Paul Egerman

As founder and chief executive of the medical technology company eScription, Paul Egerman pioneered medical transcription with intelligent speech processing technology. By supporting the endowments of the National Center for Technological Literacy and a new technology gallery, board vice chair Egerman hopes to take science and technology from behind the scenes to front and center. “The Museum is a place that makes technology fun,” Paul says. “I’m hoping people will change their views about science and technology as a result of coming to the Museum of Science.” Paul Egerman is a charter member of the Chairman’s Circle.

Am I normal? What makes my heart rate change? What does a heartbeat

mean? Visitors to The Human Body Connection ask these and other questions

that arise as they explore human biology and medical technologies. Often,

participation in the exhibit allows them to arrive at their own answers. For

instance, visitors can measure the volume of their lungs, find out how much

sugar is in a bottle of cola, assemble a model human torso, or ride a bike

with a skeleton.

Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman

The Museum—well known for attracting children, families, and educators—is increasing its adult programming thanks to a leadership gift from a couple who are long-standing Museum supporters. The Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs will enable the Museum to develop compelling, high-quality, participatory programs for adults. “Given the constant advances in science and technology, the Museum is uniquely positioned to help educate all citizens,” says Mal. “Barbara and I couldn’t be more pleased to help the Museum firmly establish itself as an attractive and comfortable place for adults.” The Shermans are charter members of the Chairman’s Circle. seek

By participating, visitors answer their own questions about human biology.

Exhibit activities present human biology in the larger

context of life science. The Hood chick hatchery has

been a favorite for generations, as are the tamarin

monkeys, which catalyze discussion of the path of

human evolution.

The Human Body Connection’s great strength is its staff

and volunteers. Answering questions in their signature

red aprons, they facilitate the hands-on activities.

The exhibit’s cadre of volunteers is especially rich in

diversity and experience. Many are current students

and professionals from the biotechnology industry who

explain the latest information in their areas of expertise.

The Hall of Human Life

Despite the Museum’s many beloved life science-related exhibits,

there is a need for more, given the profound implications of the

biotechnology revolution on our lives. To bring this knowledge and

technology to its huge audience, the Museum is reconfiguring and

expanding its human body exhibits to create the Hall of Human

Life. When completed, this exhibit will mount a comprehensive

introduction to current research on human biology.

Designing and building an exhibit hall of this scale is a monumental

undertaking, already underway thanks to the generosity of

Genzyme and Henri Termeer. And the Museum has a wealth of

other potential partners in the Boston-Cambridge area, home to

business and academic leaders in life science research. Exhibit

developers will tap these experts for input in developing the Hall

of Human Life. The exhibit itself will feature programs by Greater

Boston’s preeminent life scientists. They will present up-to-the-

minute, research-based views of life science issues, helping visitors

understand human biology as research constantly reveals it.

The top minds in life science will help the Museum illuminate human biology. D. Reid Weedon Jr.

Reid Weedon understands the benefits a planned gift can bring. A longtime supporter, former chair of the board, and life trustee of the Museum, he established a charitable remainder unitrust to support the position of president and director of the Museum. “I am actively involved in helping to raise money for the Museum of Science and thought it best to lead by example,” says Reid. “I want to make sure the Museum will always be here as an important resource for Boston and beyond.” Reid Weedon is a charter member of both the Chairman’s Circle and the Washburn Society.

SeLecTed FINANcIAL INFORmATION

Operating Results (OOO’s)

Results from OperationsThe Museum posted a financially successful fiscal year

2006 (July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2006) with record operat-

ing revenues of $45.9 million, reflecting the significant positive

impact of the Museum’s Star Wars: Where Science Meets

Imagination traveling exhibit as well as unrestricted and

restricted fundraising efforts.

Attendance continued to rebound from its low in fiscal

year 2004 and exceeded 1.6 million visitors, with Star

Wars proving a robust draw. As a result, attendance-

related income exceeded budget by a combined

nine percent. Of particular note was the record level of

more than 47,000 Museum memberships, reflecting both

the appeal of Star Wars and outstanding staff efforts.

In addition, corporate membership and sponsorship

exceeded budget by 20 percent. The Museum’s function

business grew by over 25 percent compared to the previ-

ous year, as both the corporate and the newly expanded

social market showed strong gains. Store net income also

increased nearly 30 percent despite the nine-week

closure of the main store for renovations; sales from

the temporary Star Wars store more than doubled

expectations. Renovation of the Galaxy food court and

the new food services contract helped increase net food

income by 55 percent. Also, program fees increased by 26

percent, led by traveling programs, camp-ins, and courses.

Unrestricted fundraising enjoyed a banner year. Annual

fund contributions reached a new high of $2.3 million as

efforts to increase both the number and giving level of

donors proved successful. The Museum continued to

secure government and private funding for a variety of

initiatives, and their impact on operations is noteworthy.

Over $12.5 million of these funds were utilized in 2006 for

operating programs and projects.

Operating expenses finished slightly below budget as

savings in staffing and other costs were offset by major

increases in utilities. The Museum transferred more than

$2.9 million to board-designated reserves for a variety of

one-time capital and project needs, including Star Wars

exhibit construction costs, technology infrastructure

Treasurer’s Report Fiscal 2006JOHN T. SLAKeYVice President, Finance

improvements, and facility repair and renovations. An additional

$0.4 million was earmarked to help replace board funds borrowed

to pay off the long-term debt in fiscal 2005.

Financial condition

Unrestricted cash and investments totaled $3.5 million on June 30,

a decrease of $1.8 million from a year ago due to spending on

one-time operating and capital projects and programs offset by the

positive cash flow from operations. The pooled endowment grew

by $10.1 million to $89.7 million, generated from $2.9 million in

additions along with $7.2 million in market gains. Total endowment

return for the year was 13.1 percent (12.4 percent net of fees).

This performance was in the top 10 percent of similar endowments

and foundations as tracked by our investment consultant. Property,

plant, and equipment increased by $1.3 million as a result of $5.7

million in additions against $4.2 million in depreciation and $0.2

million in write-offs.

As is true in any successful endeavor, we could not have achieved

these outstanding results without a team effort. Our Trustees,

Overseers, and donors led the way with generous commitments of

time and financial support. Our outstanding Volunteers contributed

more than 58,000 hours, helping sustain many core Museum

programs. Equally, our loyal and dedicated staff faithfully and

diligently worked toward implementing the Museum’s vision and

provided the backbone for its continued success. Together, these

three elements produced an outstanding year.

Our Partners: Investing in Tomorrow

The Museum of Science is like a digital image—an array of exhibits and programs

coalescing, like pixels, to form a whole picture. In the same way, the success of the

Museum as a whole depends on many investments, small and large, in our various

programs. Fiscal success in the past year came from multiple sources. Notable

were our achievements in attracting local and national community partners.

Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination pooled intellectual wealth and

financial support from a roster of major corporations and individual experts coast

to coast. Closer to home, Genzyme’s landmark grant will enable the Museum to

create fresh and challenging exhibits and programs illuminating the intersection

of life science and technology. Looking to the present and beyond, support

from engineering visionary Bernard M. Gordon and his wife Sophia ensures the

Museum’s role to inspire science and technology pioneers for generations to

come. These and other collaborations tell a story of transformation: A treasured

New England institution assumes national leadership in science and technology.

In fulfilling that transformation, we will work hard to continue engaging

community networks and partners. All partnerships with the Museum of Science

are an investment in our community and in the institution’s life as a national

science and technology leader. As more partnerships beget more successful

programming, a clearer image of the future comes into focus, like a pixilated

image gaining resolution.

The Innovators

Established in 2005, The Innovators are a group of

philanthropists, aged 21 to 49, who represent the

next generation of leadership support at the Museum

of Science. Chaired by Trustee Amy Morse Winslow,

Innovators attend private events at the Museum to

explore new exhibits and network with like-minded

young professionals. By investing in the Museum’s

future as the science and technology center of the

21st century, our younger members are uniquely

positioned to pioneer tomorrow’s science and

technology initiatives.

Bradford Washburn Award Presented on November 15, 2005, to Dean Kamen, inventor and physicist, who holds more than 200 U.S. and foreign patents, mostly for medical devices. He is perhaps best known for his creation of the Segway Human Transport and for founding FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in 1989, an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use, and enjoy science and technology.

An anonymous Trustee established the Bradford Washburn Award in 1964, the 25th year of Brad Washburn’s 40-year service as Museum Director. A golden medal and an honorarium of ten thousand dollars are awarded annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward public understanding of science.
